5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent basic text, January 29, 2004
This review is from: Simple, Low-Cost Wire Antennas for Radio Amateurs (Paperback)
It seems that today's amateur radio operator more often than not has a station consisting of manufactured equipment. At the heart of these stations are transceivers so complex that the average ham has neither the equipment nor the ability to fix or modify them. Antennas are, however, something that still attract homebrewers.

If you're going to put up an antenna, why not do it right and get the best performance for the time spent? For a low key yet effective introduction to wire antennas this is a wonderful little book. Nowhere near as long, or complex, as the ARRL Antenna Handbook, this concise volume presents some elementary theory and a number of practical designs for wire antennas. I've lent my copy to new hams several times and from all reports it's been a big help.

This book is highly recommended as a basic reference and a good stepping stone to the next level.

This review is from: Simple, Low-Cost Wire Antennas for Radio Amateurs (Paperback)
This publication is an excellent book and well recommended this is one of the few area's that the Radio Ham can do his own thing to get the best out of his station. The supplier Jessica's Buscuits was very prompt and well packaged. Highly recommended. Well done.
