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
