Look also at Ian White's site (www.ifwtech.co.uk or search for G3SEK), look for articles by G4FRX who wrote some good stuff and take a look and AG6K's site too.  G3SEK and AG6K are very helpful, as is W6MTF Reid Brandon who works for Eimac.  There were a lot of good articles in the German Dubus magazine if you have an interest in vhf.  Some of these are available on the web.

Thanks for bringing that up. Yes, it is on the web site although it may 
take a search of the web site to find it. Just enter "care and feeding" 
into the search web site and a PDF comes up  
http://www.cpii.com/search.cfm .  I found this of interest as I have one 
of the books, but it is *very* old. <:-)) OTOH the theory hasn't changed.
