Perhaps you (and others) should read recent editions of the Handbook 
before criticizing it. I have, and I've also contributed stuff. I know 
both the prior editor, N6BV) (now retired) and the current one, Ward 
Silver, N0AX. Both are very sharp guys, and know their stuff cold. Ward 
consistently writes excellent stuff for QST -- indeed, it's almost the 
only thing in QST that doesn't make me cringe.

Ward took over the Handbook about 4 years ago, and has been working hard 
at improving it. The latest version of the Antenna Book is is first, and 
he's hard at work on that too.
