I found the book, it is "Radio Astronomy" by John D Kraus, 2nd edition 1986
(first was 1966) printed by Cygnus-Quasar Books in Ohio. A lot of math.
Great book for EME building too

"Big Ear" is autobiographical with a good deal of discussion about the
large antenna built near Delaware, Ohio. As I recall, there was a
second edition too. Prof. Kraus gives credit to all who he worked with.

Smith published a big blue book on log periodic antennas. Most
discussion is to be found in published papers. The book Cecil mentioned
has a rehash of some of the conventional "wisdom" about LPDA. Use with
care.

I find that the first edition (edited by Jasik) is the best of that
series.

Watt has an excellent book on VLF (short) antennas.

I am still trying to find my own copy of LaPort's practical and
insightful book. Please let me know if you find an extra copy. 73
