| The Amateur Radio Vertical Handbook |
 |
by Cpt Paul Lee USN (ret.) N6PL. This
book is a classic. Rated #1 by W1JCC. Paul Lee spent years in the Navy
travelling from duty station to duty station, installing, testing and trying
new ideas for antennas. The book begins with a comprehensive overview of
verticals and the theory of how they work and how to optimize their
performance. Chapter two gives you the basic principles of vertical antennas.
Lee then discusses matching and base impedance's. Like Sevick, Lee also made
extensive investigation of short verticals and ways to make them work nearly as
well as larger antennas. |
| Also covered in separate
chapters are directional design, stacking verticals, broadband designs, the
UNIPOLE (My antenna of choice for low band operation) the effects of earth and
chapters on the antennas Lee used during his ham career The Mark I-IV series.
Also included is a helpful Q and A section that answers many of the "oft-asked"
questions. I sincerely believe that this is the BEST book ever done on vertical
antennas. I also corresponded with Lee and he was above all a gentleman who was
eager to share his knowledge with others. If you don't have this book in your
library, you are missing a true classic. A91984 Second edition 139 pages
Softbound. |
