HF Antennas for all location - RSGB -

A thought-provoking book which has been a major contribution to the state of the art from an acknowledged expert. It explains the 'why' as well as the 'how' of HF antennas, and takes a critical look at existing designs in the light of the latest developments.

This second edition has been completely revised and greatly expanded. There are more novel antanna designs, including beams which cover more bands with fewer problems, no trap losses and better rejection of interference. A new chapter presents a comprehensive review of ways to make antennas smaller, with particular emphasis on small transmitting loops.
An essential reference for the experimenter and enthusiast.

-The antenna experimenter's guide - RSGB

By Peter Dodd, G3LDO. This book, published by the RSGB, encourages experimenting by taking out the guesswork. It describes how to build and use simple RF equipment to measure antenna parameters such as impedance, resonance and performance of both home-made and commercial antennas. There's much for the keen designer, including general antenna and mast construction methods, how to test your theories, and how to use a computer to analyze experimental data and model antennas.

- Practical Wire Antennas 2 - RSGB

Edited by Ian Poole G3YWX
"Probably the best book on wire antennas ever"
Based on the hugely popular Practical Wire Antennas by John Heys, G3BDQ this book is a hugely extended and fully revised for the 21st Century. Nearly doubling in size with even more designs this book this practical book holds many complete and easy to understand recipes for a wide range of wire antennas.
Practical Wire Antennas 2 contains just about every type of wire antenna imaginable including plenty of original designs that you simply won't find in other publications. You're sure to find one that is ideal for your own particular set of circumstances. Some will fit small urban gardens and others are best deployed by those lucky enough to have plenty of available space. Theory is kept to a minimum throughout the book, and only a few formulas are given where they are necessary to allow the reader to calculate the lengths of various antennas. Practical Wire Antennas 2 has chapters covering feed lines, dipoles, antennas with tuned feeders, loop antennas, end-fed wires, verticals and practical aspects of antenna work. The book also provides a wealth of information and 'know how' on the mechanics of antenna building and includes designs for ATUs for almost every type of antenna.
Practical Wire Antennas 2 provides a collection of antenna designs and ideas that will help capture the enjoyment of experimenting in the true spirit of amateur radio. This book will help improve any station and is a must have book for anyone interested in antenna construction.

- Backyard antennas - RSGB -

by Peter Dodd, G3LDO.
Radio amateurs and short-wave listeners all want to achieve the very best from their HF and VHF equipment. Receivers and transmitters are available to professional standards, but very few people have the real estate to erect the sort of antenna used by a commercial radio station.
Antenna guru Peter Dodd, G3LDO explains how, by using a variety of simple techniques, it is possible to achieve very high performance from a compact antenna. Also detailed is how to make an antenna efficient on several bands at once.

The book covers end-fed and center-fed antennas, rotary beams, loops, tuning units, VHF/UHF antennas, antenna and mast construction, transmission lines, and how to estimate and measure the performance of your antenna.

Whether you have a house, bungalow or apartment, Backyard Antennas will help you find the solution to radiating a good signal on your favorite band.
