The RSGB has continuously published the very best antenna designs available to radio amateurs. From the most complex to the very basic, these antennas have provided radio amateurs with much food for thought and practical designs to build. HF Antennas for Everyone draws on 90 of these RadCom and Radio Communication articles from the last forty years, providing a comprehensive collection of HF antennas with something for everyone.

The selection in this book is a deliberate mix of the traditional and more recent designs. Subdivided into broad sections including horizontal, vertical and loop antennas, there is much variety to be found here. Looking back at the earlier decades, it is fantastic to see how many aerial giants, such as Louis Varney and G5RV, have written for the RSGB. There is, however, much more than this. The conventional wisdom of HF antennas says you will need lots of space and money to install suitable aerials. HF Antennas for Everyone shows that no matter the size of the available space, you will find antenna designs that will help you get your signals in and out. Feeders are also not forgotten, with a section devoted to this fascinating and often overlooked topic. But what if your local regulations prohibit the erection of antennas? That needn't get in your way because this book even contains a section on Stealth antennas that are either essentially invisible or disguised as something entirely different.

It is often said that there is nothing new in aerials, but HF Antennas for Everyone shows this isn't so. This book demonstrates a considerable number of developments and innovations from the last 20 years, mainly that show designers are starting to find innovative solutions to age-old problems.

Whatever bands you want to work on, whatever the state of the sunspot cycle, and however large or small your garden, in HF Antennas for Everyone, you'll find an antenna that will get you heard.
