Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, in an escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. The invasion is the largest conventional military attack on a sovereign state in Europe since World War II. Since the beginning of Putin's war, thousands of both Ukraine and Russian citizens have been killed. Russian military have indiscriminately bombed cities in Ukraine, destroying many hospitals and schools. Our heart goes out to the 2.7 million plus refugees that have left Ukraine for neighboring countries, and those who stayed to fight the Russian invaders.

Россия начала полномасштабное вторжение в Украину 24 февраля 2022 года в рамках эскалации российско-украинской войны, начавшейся в 2014 году. Это вторжение является крупнейшим
военным нападением с применением обычных вооружений на суверенное государство в Европе со времен Второй мировой войны. С начала путинской войны погибли тысячи граждан Украины
и России. Российские военные без разбора бомбили города Украины, уничтожив множество больниц и школ. Мы сочувствуем более чем 2,7 миллионам беженцев, покинувших Украину в
соседние страны, и тем, кто остался сражаться с российскими оккупантами.


YAGio - Yagi Design by W8IO


YAGio 1.01 is the most current released version.  YAGio runs under Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Win 7 and likely Win 8.  YAGio is similar to LPCAD, it uses keyboard commands instead of a mouse menu. YAGio allows you to create DL6WU long Yagi antennas on any frequency, typically on VHF and UHF ham frequencies. You specify the frequency, desired gain, type of element to boom mounting, DE diameter and parasitic element diameter, and YAGio does the rest.  You can save these designs in 5 different formats - YIO (used by YAGio), NEC (used by 4NEC2), YAG (YO), MMA (MMANA-GAL)  and YC6 (used by YagiCAD). You can also print the results to your Windows default printer. Please email me at rgcox2 (at) gmail.com if you find bugs or to suggest improvements. YAGio.exe version 1.01 was created on 6-10-2015 at 12:39 pm.  The exe file size is 221K. You may download YAGio101.ZIP here.  

I am currently working on YAGio 1.02.  I will also add file export support for 4 bay NEC models.

I like to use 4NEC2 to evaluate my Yagi models.  It is a very nice, full featured version of NEC2.  You can find the latest version of 4NEC2 here: 
http://www.qsl.net/4nec2

You can also find a faster NEC2 "engine" for 4NEC2. (web site currently unavailable) The NEC2/MP "engine" will speed up computation tremendously in dual and quad core PC's.  A model that took 60 seconds to run in 4NEC2's existing computation engine should complete under 25 seconds using the NEC2/MP engine in a dual core CPU and under 12 seconds in a quad core CPU.

Here are a couple screen shots from YAGio 1.0 running in Win 7:

Gustavo Cerati Grandes Exitos 2011 Work ((new))

Arguably Cerati's most famous solo anthem. With its soaring orchestration and the iconic refrain, "Gracias por venir" (Thank you for coming), the song serves as a literal and figurative bridge between his past rock legacy and his avant-garde solo future. "Crimen" (from Ahí Vamos )

To truly appreciate the avoid the algorithmic playlists. Instead, look for the live recordings from the Fuerza Natural Tour , specifically the concert in Mexico City or Buenos Aires.

: The 2011 compilation focus includes hit singles from his five solo studio albums: Amor Amarillo (1993) Bocanada (1999) Siempre es Hoy (2002) Ahí Vamos (2006) Fuerza Natural (2009)

Gustavo Cerati Title: Grandes Éxitos (also known as Lo Esencial ) Release Year: 2011 Label: Sony Music Format: CD, Digital Download Context: Released just over a year after Cerati suffered a severe stroke in May 2010, which left him in a coma until his death in 2014. The album was part of Sony’s Grandes Éxitos series.

While Cerati's most definitive solo greatest hits collection is titled (released later in 2015), the year 2011 marked a period where his solo works were repackaged or highlighted following his medical emergency in 2010.

Gustavo Cerati's impact on Latin American rock music cannot be overstated. As a member of Soda Stereo and as a solo artist, he helped shape the sound of a generation. His music addressed themes of social justice, politics, and personal relationships, resonating with audiences across the region.

Recorded during a temporary hiatus from Soda Stereo while Cerati was living in Chile.

While Soda Stereo was defined by new wave, post-punk, and stadium rock, Cerati’s solo work was characterized by restless experimentation. The 2011 Grandes Éxitos bridges his electronic experiments, acoustic introspective moments, and hard-hitting alternative rock, organizing them into a cohesive narrative. Tracking the Sonic Evolution

Born on August 11, 1959, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Gustavo Cerati grew up in a family that encouraged his musical pursuits. He began playing music at a young age and was heavily influenced by the Beatles, David Bowie, and other prominent rock artists. In 1982, Cerati co-founded Soda Stereo with bassist Zeta Bosio and drummer Charly Alberti. The band quickly gained popularity in Argentina and eventually became one of the most successful and influential rock acts in Latin America. Arguably Cerati's most famous solo anthem

The primary achievement of the 2011 Grandes Éxitos was its ability to distill a sprawling, highly experimental career into a cohesive narrative. Cerati was a musical chameleon, and the compilation beautifully traces his trajectory across several distinct eras:

His first major statement after the official disbandment of Soda Stereo.

The "Gustavo Cerati Grandes Exitos 2011" concert was a celebration of Cerati's remarkable discography, featuring a carefully curated selection of his most iconic songs, both from his time with Soda Stereo and his solo career. The show was a result of months of planning and rehearsal, with Cerati working closely with his band to recreate the distinctive sound and atmosphere of his live performances.

The Grandes Éxitos album released in 2011 acted as an essential primer and emotional anchor for the public during a time of collective mourning and hope. The tracklist serves as a map of his creative peaks. Key inclusions underscore the depth of his musicianship: Instead, look for the live recordings from the

Gustavo Cerati's Grandes Éxitos 2011 served as a testament to his boundless creativity and dedication to his craft. The album was met with widespread critical acclaim and commercial success, topping the charts in Argentina and other Latin American countries.

Missing major hits: “Tabú” ( Ahí Vamos ), “Caravana” ( Fuerza Natural ) were omitted — suggesting a focus on slower, more emotional songs, possibly reflecting Cerati’s fragile state.
