Hiya chaps,

Are there any comms specialists out there?

I'm looking into mobile antenna design theory (UHF. HF etc) and have been trying to find a begineers book on antenna design.

Does anyone know of such a book? What about websites or comms forums?

I'm a mech engineer so can understand nerd speak but haven't delved into comms theory much before.

Cheers.

Find a copy of the ARRL antenna book - I think i've seen a downloadable one somewhere.

Or try the WIA here in Oz for a copy:

What are you trying to build and what are you trying to achieve with it?
