Summary: Must-have book!
Comment: 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.

Summary: HAM's to Engineers Antenna Reference: Highly Recommended!
Comment: This is a great ham reference, for anybody who builds, designs
and puts up antennas. Its not just for the HAM , it also can be for the shortwave listener that has a pricey receiver,and needs a serious antenna. Attn: serious FM DXers:(Sporadic E theory in here!), and also for the AM listener for loop antennas. LOWFERS!: There is a special section for
you also in this book, in page 6-35 to 6-39. There is also some great stuff for the student that needs some extra information on the how radio waves travel. Also there is a EME section in here also for space hams, that use our moon as a reflector to
get somewhere else in the world.

Summary: This is essential
Comment: 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.
