Lamare, good find. I did some digging and found a review by gentleman who's been working in the Navy with the security clearance to NEC-4 and well here's his review...
NEC-4 Modeling
"I have a lot to learn before I can be confident in using NEC-4 to predict antenna performance. I must find a better way to model grounded insulated antennas underground, and must find my errors in modeling electrically small loops."
I've got a compiler program from MIT for mutual capacitance and inductance on semi conductors that's scalable, just trying to get another Unix compiler to output the input file for custom designs. It should be able to calculate fairly accurately the interturn capacitance and inductance thru a Fq sweep. I'll keep the group posted on results.
