Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: AM Broadcast Station Antenna Systems - A Basic Guide (Paperback)
This book is inexpensive and introduces the concepts employed in broadcast antennas without the use of complicated formulas. It explains the broadcast channel concepts and FCC regulations as they relate to antenna arrays using simple language, and plenty of diagrams and photographs.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants an introduction to how AM broadcast antenna arrays work. The book can also be a help to those who are educated in electronics, but haven't explored this area in depth.

Great Book For The Everyday Listerner, To The Advanced DXer!,
By David Welch (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AM Broadcast Station Antenna Systems - A Basic Guide (Paperback)
A wonderful book for anyone who has even a slight interest in the world of AM radio. This book provides a comprehensive overview of how an AM signal is transmitted through the air by many different types of antennas. The book also contains a section on propagation which is very helpful in understanding how radio signals travel. As a DXer myself and a casual listener I found this book to greatly increase my enjoyment of AM radio as well as give me some background information on just how those pretty metal towers work. This book is very well written with many helpful pictures illustrating the concept being taught. The most important reason I found this book helpful is that it requires nearly no background information to understand the concepts presented. For the everyday listener to the advanced DXer I would not hesitate in purchasing this book!

VERY Basic,

This review is from: AM Broadcast Station Antenna Systems - A Basic Guide (Paperback)
I found the book to be VERY basic. If you are a ham, or in the engineering aspect of the broadcast industry there is nothing new to you in this book.
