This is my third ARRL Antenna Handbook, 20th edition. It has probably the greatest wealth of antenna information an amateur can readily obtain. It's nice to see newer topics addressed like radiation exposure and an expanded propagation section giving practical reports about which bands are open and to where on a timetable. You're not going to get this collection of information on this wide a variety of antennas anywhere else. There's also a CD that I'm fixing to check out. In my opinion the quality is 100%, the price has more than doubled $44.95 from my last handbook purchased in 1995 $20 and the League has added advertisers to the handbook. I would have hoped that the advertising revenue would allow the League to seel the book for a bit less

If you have any interest in amateur radio, you need this book. It is the first place to look for the answers to your antenna questions. Compared to most publications in our field, this is well written with real attention to teaching complex concepts to those of us without an engineering background. In addition to the necessary theory, it has very practical designs that demonstrate the concepts and serve as a starting point for your own designs. The software included on the CD-ROM bound in volume is also useful.
By far the best treatment on HF antennas that I have seen
This book is so valuable that I buy each new addition to see what chapters have been edited.
Before you spent a dollar on an antenna, spend $30 dollars on this book.
