Practical Antenna Handbook
About the Authors Joseph J. Carr was a military electronics technician and the author of several popular electronics books, including McGraw-Hill’s Secrets of RF Design, and Old Time Radios! Restoration and Repair. He wrote a monthly column for Nuts & Volts magazine. George W. (Bud) Hippisley, W2RU, earned his BSEE degree from MIT and was formerly chief operating officer for a major supplier of electronics to the cable TV industry. A longtime active amateur radio operator who has won or ranked nationally in many competitive on-the-air operating events, he has given talks on the basics of antennas and ionospheric propagation to radio clubs and other groups for more than 35 years. Front cover: Two towers support the author’s monoband Yagi antennas for 40, 20, 15, 6, and 2 meters. The taller tower is shunt-fed on 160 meters and supports one end of an 80-meter dipole; the shorter tower supports a 40-meter dipole. In the foreground: a section of open-wire transmission line feeding the 80-meter dipole. Out of view: Beverage wires for low-band receiving and a triband Yagi for 10, 15, and 20 meters.
