There are sites on the
Internet that you can read or you can go get a book on the subject.

I think about buying:

Joe Carr "Receiving Antenna book" and/or "Loop Antenna Handbook".

And in a library some 40 miles away (Roeselare, Roulers in
french/english) they have an old ARRL handbook ..

2 years ago I had that ARRL book at home and found it way too much
electronics, I mean, not stressed on signal from antenna, but on
amplification and such. When I look into that book now, I'll probably
find my way in it much better ...

The Joe Carr books are very good. I highly recommend them. The Joe Carr
books present basic easily understood concepts, formulas, and practical
antenna designs.

Short wave listeners should get the "Joe Carr's Receiving antenna
handbook." This book covers many antenna types and almost any type you
would want to make for short wave, AMBCB, or LW reception.
