There are a number of rather silly and infantile people
whose first inclination is to sneer. Two such intellectual
failures are quoted below; "Empty vessels make the
most noise". A book whose first page is about
wire, the skin effect thereto, and the inductance of a short
length of wire is not basic by any means.

You should already know all of the above after 30 years of hamming it up.
Basic. Looks like a good book for anyone starting out in radio with a good
basic education or a good crib sheet for the rest of us. Sitting in the sun
with a half full vessel reading Traveling wave antennas by Carlton H Walter,
includes an interesting discussion of the polyrod antenna ;c)
