Antenna Designs You Will Want to Build!
It doesn't matter how good your rig is, if your antenna is of low quality, or not the right one for what you are trying to do, then you will not get very far. Radio amateurs worldwide find themselves looking for solutions that suit their location and needs. The Antenna Notebook provides a collection of over 50 designs covering a multitude of bands and locations, showcasing diverse and innovative antennas you will want to build.
The Antenna Notebook is aimed at inspiring you to have a go at building something that, in times where budgets are increasingly stretched, can be a more economic option than a store-bought antenna. Broken into broad sections, you will find the book starts with stealth antennas and then it goes onto loops, horizontal, directional, vertical, and even a range of innovative VHF antennas. Articles included have varying degrees of difficulty, but all are included to encourage you to 'have a go'. The material has been drawn predominately from the Radio Society of Great Britain's journal RadCom but also from a wide range of sources including the GQRP magazine Sprat and the ARRL monthly membership journal QST.
Regardless of whether you have never built an antenna before, or are an experienced antenna builder, The Antenna Notebook provides an invaluable source of ideas and inspiration. If you want to improve your station's performance or are looking for something that will work for your location, this book is thoroughly recommended for you.
