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.
