Overview

For the many amateur radio operators who like to construct their own antenna gear, and for those interested in getting into the fascinating field of ham radio, here is a practical guide to building and operating many types of ham antennas. Although the antennas described in this book cost little to construct, many will out-perform some of the best-designed, ready-made antennas on the market. By using parts you already have on hand (wire, 2x4s, insulators, etc.), you can build radiators that will allow you to DX places like Singapore, Moscow, Berlin, and the North Pole. Besides full details on many useful and interesting types of antennas, Ham Antenna Construction Projects includes complete information on long-lasting construction methods, as well as how to position your antenna to achieve maximum distance with a given radiation pattern. In addition, much easy-to-understand technical information on tuning antennas and the use of test equipment is presented. If you have a yen to travel the world on radio waves and have little cash to devote to an antenna system, this book is for you. All the information you need is here -- covering both horizontal and vertical antenna types, transmission lines and connections, antenna tuners, methods of construction, and methods and equipment for tuning antennas.
