good info

I found this book to be very similar to the arrl's book , but of a better size. more easily handled, with the addition of the included cd, I expect to find it very useful in my experimentation with antennas, as well as of benifit to my general knowledge.

HAM Radio Antenna

A very informative and well presented text on amateur radio antennas. It is the best presentation on grounding the antenna, in contast to other ARRL books. But it could stand more detail about grounding in the next edition. For example why is it not as important to ground a 2 meter antenna. Of course the book does emphasize HF more than VHF since the author is more "into" that band.

Great source for antenna ideas!

As a radio operator for an Airborne Infantry (Long-Range Surveillance) unit, this book is indispensable! If you need an HF antenna for a certain wavelength or a specific job, or want an explanation of how long-range 'sky-wave' communications work, then this book is a must have!

Excellent Practical Overview of TX/RX Antennas

The title gives a very readable overview of antennas, installation and usage. This book contains sufficient information to allow the reader to choose, design, install and maintain antennas for TX/RX over the entire frequency spectrum. Book contains only essential theory.
