I don't know the book, but there is a two volume set (one orange, one
blue) by Rudge, Milne, Olver and Knight. Those are professional level
antenna books. I suspect it is the same Rudge.

If yours is similar, I would think it is a steal at $1. Professional
level antenna books can be very expensive.

My background is quite close to their target audance - I did an MSc
degree in "Microwaves and Optoelectronics", and one of the options I
took during that MSc was "Antennas and Radar".

Yet I'm the first to admit, I find the theory in these sort of books
very hard at times. (I think having a maths degree might help, which I
do not have).

I was working on my EE degree when I got a job offer I couldnt turn
down. I was about a year short of getting the degree and had intended
to get it after I got settled in my new job. That never happened,
instead I work on radars, comm systems and old 60s vintage mainframe
computers and raising a family. My EE counterparts get to shuffle
paperwork all day. Im sure I would get more outof the books too if I
wnet back and finished my degree, at least took a couple mre calculus
courses
