Books
Since early 2005 I have announced four books with a focus on ham radio, antennas and restricted spaces. In early 2008 I announce my 5th book and throughout 2007 I have been promoting my 4th book - 'The VK G5RV Handbook'.
Ham radio needs more promotion and books are an excellent means to promote this great hobby. It is also a way to share ones experiences with a broarder audience of fellow hams and newer hams.
Books released to date:
The VK Antenna Gain Handbook. ISBN 978-0-9757689-4-5
This book has been written as a refreshing new look at some ideas on gain antenna's and phasing. Focus is base station antennas. (CD version: ISBN 978-0-9757689-5-2)
The VK Antenna Handbook for Restricted Spaces. ISBN 0-9757689-0-5
This book has been written as a reference source of ideas for ham operators challenged with a lack of space to erect antennas
The VKG5RV Handbook. ISBN 978-0-9757689-3-8
This book was written as a reference source for some new ideas on a well known ham antenna. The G5RV has served the needs of hams the world over for a very long time. But the reality is the standard G5RV is NOT a small antenna with a tip-to-tip length of some 31m (or 102ft). This books solves that problem.
The NuBeam Handbook. ISBN 0-9757689-2-1
This book was written as a reference source of ideas for ham operators challenged with the desire to erect a 2-elelment directional yagi antenna but who lack the the space to erect such antennas.
The TLV Antenna Handbook. ISBN 0-9757689-1-3
This book was written as a reference source for understanding and building the TLV vertical antenna. By avoiding traditional cascaded trap-designs, it is a restricted space antenna designed for higher radiation efficiencies
