Introduction by Rev. George Dobbs G3RJV.
I am pleased to recommend this new book by Ian. Immediately I looked through its contents, I saw that it had "G3ROO" written all over it. It is a no-nonsense practical book - good technical information for the "non-professional" radio amateur with lots of practical ideas. It is a book written for the "usual" radio amateur who has limited space and resources for antennas. - de G3RJV

The book contains clear pictures of "how to" and sometimes importantly, "how not to" make your own antennas.
