Those that can get access to a copy should look at the Radio Society of
Great Britain, RadCom Magazine, December 2007 issue, Technical Topics
column by Pat Hawker G3VA. The topic? 50 Years of amateur antennas. He
covers a lot of the perennial topics of debate in this newsgroup and
provides some excellent commentary on element lengths, feedline lengths,
SWR, ATU's, modes of operation and some of the controversy. Okay, it has
probably all been covered elsewhere in books, on websites and in this
newsgroup, but there is a lot of useful information condensed into a
couple of pages. Almost a substitute fro Kraus and Terman! :-)

Does he cover the radiation of antennas from 377 ohm "sweet spots", and
the concept of using antennas to match free space's impedance?
