5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have book!, April 2, 2004
By A Customer
This is actually a review of the 20th edition -- Amazon is still selling the 19th edition as of this writing.

The book is essential for anyone wanting to understand and construct antennas, without a lot of math. It covers HF, VHF, and UHF antennas, along with sections on special-purpose antennas.

The only real complaint I have is that the material is not organized in textbook fashion, which often makes information hard to find. For example, information about vertical antenna theory is scattered among three or four chapters. And the book's index is not terribly helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ARRL Antenna Book, December 16, 2000
By Bil Paul KD6JUI (San Mateo, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Although this book is angled toward radio amateurs ("ham" radio operators) it would be of interest to all interested in antennas.

It's updated yearly by hams and covers the field from theory to actual construction projects. In addition to antennas it covers transmission lines and antenna tuners (transmatch devices).

I'm buying a new one this year. My 8-year-old one is getting tattered from continual use, so it's time to get a fresh one. However, they are so good I save the old ones too.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is essential, February 14, 2002
By Christopher (Manchester, CT United States) - See all my reviews
No matter what you think of the ARRL, if you are a member or or not, they do provide the ham community with some invaliable resources. This book is one of them. It includes information on how to safely work on a tower, how to build antena, computer modling, RF exposure limits, antena theory, and a lot more. Plus it includes as CD-ROM with some of the programs mentioned in the text.

A must for all new hams, or anyone who wants to know more about antena. For hams who already have previous editions, you may want it just for the software.
