I'm a new Ham and want to learn more about Antennas.
I have been an Amateur for 4 months and went from Tech to Extra in 2 ½
months aced all 3 tests.
My interest is becoming the best Amateur Radio Operator I can be.
Along this line I'm looking for help, at age 64 it is just as important
to me as it is to a 10 year old Amateur.

Welcome.
I've been licensed for 15 years and passed Extra last year. Never aced
anything. My scores belong in the Witness Protection Program.
ARRL Operating Manual is good source for beginners.
www.arrl.org/catalog
and
http://www.arrl.org/catalog/index.ph...gory=Operating
Also,
http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=1018#top for the ARRL Handbook.
(Can't tell why it's listed separately.) Not everybody likes the ARRL. I
do.
Much useful info shows up in the newsgroups. Just keep your mental filters
switched on.
