Antenna Theory (2016)
There is a surprising lack of easily digestable antenna&#x2F;ham radio related material on the internet. I know because it took me 3 weeks to learn the basics of antennas when I expected to finish in 2 nights. Some of the best information I read was from old Royal Canadian Airforce videos, atleast several decades old[0]<p>I still haven&#x27;t been able to find a general equation for a have wavelength dipole antenna explained in simple English. I do have one based on empirical evidence, though[1]. I&#x27;ve even bought a copy of the ARRL Handbook, but I find that it goes from 0 to OMG-language-is-this too quickly.<p>Thank you, I wish I&#x27;d found this site earlier.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=7bDyA5t1ldU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=7bDyA5t1ldU</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ham.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;12996&#x2F;what-is-the-equation-for-the-arm-lengths-of-a-half-wavelength-dipole-antenna" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ham.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;12996&#x2F;what-is-the-eq...</a>
