Description
This book and software package provides the complete design toolkit (only wire not included). Joe Carr's expertise in the area of antenna design is legendary. This package includes a comprehensive handbook for the antenna designers and experimenters of the world. It also includes a suite of powerful software on CD-ROM.
This book and software toolkit will provide a complete solution bar the hardware for anyone constructing or using an antenna. The software will calculate the critical lengths and other parameters of the antennas in the book by having the user select the antenna type and set the frequency. The main menu screen is in the form of tabs, one for each chapter of the book plus other topics. Also included is a Windows freeware package, from the Voice of America organization, called VOACAP. This is an HF propagation predictor which some commercial sources have offered unmodified for hundreds of dollars.
