Before embarking upon taking the Amateur Radio users exam, I was very much into Citizens Band Radio.

Understanding antenna systems, measurements and radiation patterns was part of the evolutionary step in developing my knowledge within the hobby.

This book turned out to provide all of the basic formula required for me to begin making antennas. Although this book is directed at the Radio Ham, the theory behind different types of antenna system is important when trying to get the best out of aerial installations.

I was in my mid-teens when I bought this.
