Thousands of shortwave radio listeners and electronics hobbyists have relied upon the Practical Antenna Handbook to design, build, modify, and install their own antennas. The second edition of this bestselling guide contains all-new BASIC computer programs for antenna design and impedence matching, expanded coverage of long-wire directional antennas and radio wave propagation theory, and new material on small look direction finding antennas. Carr presents more practical projects here than in any other book of its kind, providing nuts-and-bolts information on a vast array of antenna types.

From the Back Cover

The world's favorite antenna book. The most popular book on antennas ever written, widely known as "the antenna builder's bible," Joseph J. Carr's Practical Antenna Handbook, Third Edition is a work for anyone with an interest in antennas, from the newest of novices to the most experienced engineer. This empowering book gives you all kinds of projects, yes. And it gives you material that explains why what you did works. But most importantly, it prepares you to design and construct your own antennas "for the cases," Carr modestly suggests, "That the author thoughtlessly failed to cover." This third edition blends, in Joseph J. Carr's words, "the theoretical concepts that the engineers and others need to design practical antennas, and the hard-learned practical lessons derived from actually building and using antennas--real antennas made of real metal--not merely theoretical constructs on a blackboard." Add it to your working library, and pretty soon it'll assume a favorite spot inside your toolbox, beaten up, tattered, annotated with your persona notes... obviously used to the fullest extent.
