Introduction by Rev. George Dobbs G3RJV.

I am pleased to recommend this new book by Ian. Immediately I looked through its contents, I saw that it had "G3ROO" written all over it. It is a no-nonsense practical book - good technical information for the "non-professional" radio amateur with lots of practical ideas. It is a book written for the "usual" radio amateur who has limited space and resources for antennas. - de G3RJV

Ian was awared the Wortley Talbot Cup in 1993 by the RSGB for Design Excellence and has been an active officer in the GQRP Club for more years than he cares to remember!

The book contains clear pictures of "how to" and sometimes importantly, "how not to" make your own antennas.
