This review is from: ARRL's Wire Antenna Classics (Paperback)

This is a collection of wire antenna constructions articles taken mostly from QST from the 1950ties up to 1998. Actually it is a simple compilation of copies of the articles.
I am personally missing a detailed list of the articles and some kind of Index. Otherwise it's great to read these fine articles packed with good ideas, and of cause if your target is set on a wire antenna not much has changed over the last 60 years - all solid information
Further to me it's a great thing to read original articles from G5RV and W3 DZZ - to me this is a first time
This small book is a treasure of gold in a number of different ways

Very good book for the novice to the extra class. If you have wire you can make an antenna. Very good graphics and instructions on how to make all kinds of wire antennas. From field day projects to the avid dxers you will enjoy this book. K4TWT
