[GNC] A repository for user-contributed files

[Adrien Monteleone]

I'm sure time will tell, but I suspect it will indeed be found useful.

There are plenty of questions concerning custom reports, and a place for 
people to find them is most appreciated. (that's why I made the 
suggestion in the first place!)

Thanks again for the offering.

(and I agree that SourceForge is pretty much just a 'landing page' 
junket at this point)

Regards,
Adrien

p.s.—I was intrigued by the idea of an antenna analyzer and wanted to 
learn more about it, but it seems the project is empty.
