I am very interested in building my own HF/VHF/UHF antennas. I've seen
the ARRL books, but I was hoping that you good folks might have some
favorite websites, book titles or magazine issues [old or new] that
you'd be willing to pass along that could get me started.


Hi Alain,

You can certainly buy more books than there are antennas, but really,
the ARRL manual (any one of them) is enough to make your first foray.
This will make it easier to ask questions, and to focus on specific
needs instead of shotgunning what is available.

The best advice is to remark that all antenna designs can be scaled to
any other frequency. The building details are the sticky part.
