[NJARC] Book Information sought:

[JOE CRO]

Hello Alex,
                 The information you gave me is fantastic, and a lot more to 
go on that I had before. It's most appreciated to say the least! I 
previously "Googled" the authors' name, etc and didn't come up with a lot to 
go on. Just a few empty resources on where his book may have been at one 
time, and "no longer available" hits.

I didn't know that Munzig had a connection with "Monty", the human Montezuma 
mascot for San Diego State University, in 1933, as you mentioned.

Where I'm going with all of this, is to concurrently with a friend in the UK 
(Dave Gordon-Smith,G3UUR), ascertain if Munzig was in fact the discoverer of 
the physics that determine the angle of radiation relating to the salient 
properties of antennas.

Many thanks again for your assistance with this, and I'll let you know what 
(if anything) develops.

Very Best Regards,
                              Joe Cro N3IBX
