Dear Mike:

A "must have" is the ARRL's Antenna Handbook. When you find yourself
desiring to know the rest of the story, Kraus' "Antennas" is the book. It
is as lucid as the author was in person. The third edition has some
proofreading issues that most people will not notice, but if you start at
Chapter One and follow along, you will understand. A few latter chapters
specialized on a single antenna type that you might not be interested in,
but that will be apparent. A soft cover edition (International Edition)
exists.

I still hope to live long enough to find a copy of La Port's book. If
you find more than one, please let me know. The book contains some
engineering aspects of serious antennas not otherwise available.

Enjoy! 73 Mac N8TT

I'm looking for some good antenna reference books.

What would be your sugessions?

I'm a somewhat intelligent person, and looking for something good. I'm
not afraid of equations, but would prefer to start with something
absorbable to start with. Does such literature exist?
