Antenna Books of Interest to QRP Enthusiasts Version 1.3
|
||||
April 3, 1997
|
||||
Compiled by L. B. Cebik, W4RNL
|
||||
|
||||
Contents: This file contains basic information on antenna books of
|
||||
especial interest to QRP enthusiasts, but also of interest to all antenna
|
||||
builders and users. The listing contains books on Basic Antenna
|
||||
References and Texts; Wire Antennas; Beam and Yagi Antennas; Quads;
|
||||
Vertical Antennas; Miscellaneous Antenna Projects; Antenna Testing and
|
||||
Experimenting; and Transmission Lines and Matching
|
||||
|
||||
This list is restricted to books on antennas, because there are so
|
||||
many of them. Books on more general aspects of electronics and
|
||||
operating for QRP enthusiasts and periodicals of interest to QRP
|
||||
enthusiasts will be found in separate listings.
|
||||
|
||||
Each entry in this book list provides the following information:
|
||||
author, title, publisher, year of publication, cost, ISBN #, numbers
|
||||
of pages, and a brief description of the contents.
|
||||
|
||||
The individual items in this list are believed to be reasonably
|
||||
complete and accurate as of the date of this notice. Corrections and
|
||||
additions may be e-mailed to me at the listed address. I shall be
|
||||
pleased to add to the list any publication omitted if it is of high
|
||||
interest to QRP operators and builders. And, of course, I shall be
|
||||
pleased to correct any errors and update the information listed.
|
||||
|
||||
Permission to reproduce this list is hereby granted on condition that
|
||||
a full reference to its source is included.
|
||||
|
||||
Good reading, good building, and good operating to you.
