Antennas for MF and Above – Mike Parkin
Antennas for MF and Above, by RadCom antennas specialist Mike Parkin, is a practical and insightful guide to antenna design and operation for the 630m, 160m, 80m, and 60m amateur bands. Aimed at constructors and experimenters, the book explains both the practical and theoretical aspects of working below 40m, showing how similar techniques — and even the same antenna — can often be used across multiple bands.
Mike demonstrates how 160m antennas can be adapted for 630m, and how 80m designs can be made to work effectively on 160m and 60m. The book includes dedicated chapters on 630m antennas, along with examples of both single‑band and multiband designs for vertical and horizontal polarisation. Radiation pattern diagrams help clarify the concepts, while practical matching techniques using baluns, transformers and ATUs are clearly explained.
Whether you’re exploring the lower bands for the first time or refining an existing station, this book provides the essential reference for anyone interested in MF‑to‑HF antenna experimentation.
