* "Joe Carr's Receiving Antenna Handbook" - by Joseph Carr
This Guide to High Performance Antennas is written
in Joe's clear, easy to understand, friendly style.
Arguably the best book devoted to Receiving Antennas
for longwave through Shortwave. An excellent book for
the Shortwave Listener who likes to experiment with
different Antennas. = Pages 189
