Default RSGB RadCom December 2007 Issue

Pat Hawker was the only part that I read but lately he seems to be
rambling.
The antenna reporter isn't really putting out anything of interest for
the
regular ham either tho I was pleased with the experimenting for QRP
I terminated my subscription to Radcom this year because there rarely
was anything else that was interesting. Wrote them a letter earlier
this year
but they didn't even acknoweledge it.
Have been to the HQ by the way at St Albans or was it Hatfield?

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! :-)
