Thank you very, very much for your writings. I refer often to them and
recommend them to others as well.

I know K9YC, Jim and some others, will agree with me. If you wish to play with
antennas, please make a purchase of the ARRL Antenna Handbook a primary
consideration. Regardless of how you feel about the org.
Read it cover to cover, making notes in the margins and dog-earing pages of
importance. Put it where you can grab it easily for answers. You'll be happy
you did.
Absolutely, George. And some of the best advice I got from a friend and fellow
EE was to get seriously into antenna modeling as a learning tool. I've always
been serious about measurement of things I'm working on, from my long retired
career in pro audio, and in ham radio. It has been my experience that if you
feed NEC and accurate model, including but not limited to soil conditions, it
will give you very good answers. But like much of life, it's also garbage in,
garbage out. :)
And when I do learn things, I often try to share them, by writing them up in
detail and doing talks at ham events.
73, Jim K9YC
