What stands between you, the amateur radio operator, and all the other amateur radio operators in the world?

Antennas. Yours, theirs…and propagation conditions between.

In other words, you can have the most advanced transceiver, coupled with the most powerful amplifier on the market, if you know too little about how antenna systems work and about radio wave propagation, you risk spending your time and money for naught.

This e-book is the first of a series on HF antenna basics. Together, they will help ensure that you turn the situation around to your advantage.

What additional challenge is there to HF communications besides:

• Overcoming often adverse propagation conditions;
• Establishing solid contacts in the cacophony of pileups when conditions are good;
• Acquiring the necessary operating skills?

Finding space to install a large HF antenna, that's what!

This e-book, with its many illustrations, will supply some of the most viable HF antenna solutions for restricted spaces, and explain the pros and cons of each. You will then be free to choose the solution that will “fit” into the space you have available while meeting most of your needs.

The solution you opt for will involve compromises. But, at least, you will have the luxury of being able to choose.

This fourth e-book in the series on Amateur Radio HF Antennas covers essential, and often ill-understood HF antenna accessories.

Lightning on the horizon? You are not worried … because you installed the lightning protection devices described in this e-book, and you have taken the preventive measures as prescribed.

But that’s not all. Your HF antenna is now transmitting more RF power, and your receiver is getting more milliwatts from your antenna system, because you learned what types of antenna tuners to avoid. You are now using an efficient tuner, and you even know how it works.

Your antenna tuner will likely have its own SWR/PWR meter. Notwithstanding, this e-book will help you decide if you still need an outboard one, and which meter will best meet your needs.

Furthermore, armed with the valuable information you read here, you finally acquired the antenna analyzer to satisfy the expectations of the antenna experimenter in you.

Emboldened by your recent successful acquisitions, you now have the antenna tower you were dreaming of. You heeded the recommendations this e-book provided and, thus, avoided all the pitfalls that await the unwary.

Finally, an e-book series on HF antennas would not be complete without a word on HF signal propagation. It outlines the software and online services available today which enable you to take full advantage of band openings.

"How the heck did you ever pack this much knowledge in a book so down to earth and practical? Thank you sooo much for your gift of keeping things simple and clear for us nuts and bolts kind of guys!"

The contents of this book on HF Antenna Basics are mostly aimed at the amateur radio beginner and aspiring ones. Therefore, this book provides answers to basic questions like: What is the best HF antenna for my needs and location? What type of stand-alone antenna tuner should I use and which should I avoid? How can I hide my HF antenna from the neighbors and still get acceptable performance from it? What about lightning protection?

This book will supply immediately useful answers to the above questions and many more.

A properly designed and installed amateur radio HF antenna system can potentially make the humblest ham radio equipment perform like stations worth thousands of dollars.

We are confident that the antenna experimenter will find the information given here priceless. Furthermore, any ham radio operator, armed with the information this book contains, will become a much better informed buyer of commercially made HF antenna systems and accessories.

This special edition is published in response to ham radio operators who wrote to ask that all the basic information, on and related to amateur radio HF antennas, be made available in one book instead of four, arguing that it would be more convenient. The author and publisher agree. Therefore this edition contains the complete four-book series on Amateur Radio HF Antenna Basics published by Claude Jollet, VE2DPE.
