Thanks, Bill, for the notice about the free Kurt N Sterba collection. That, by the way, is all that it's worth. I wouldn't recommend it as a reference on the topic. Sterba sure does perpetuate a lot of antenna-related misinformation and garbage analysis, but also presents some good stuff. The trick is to recognize the gems from the nonsense! I guess the best I can say is that this version embeds a good catalog of Palomar-Engineers products in appropriate sections of the book! I've bought P-E stuff, and it's good and reliable. The Sterba book is not, but it is quite amusing!  

Thanks again,
Kai, KE4PT

Eham Review

Kurt N Sterba, sometimes known as “Krusty Olde Kurt” or “The Krusty One” and often as “The Masked Avenger”, is fearless in exposing antenna manufacturers who lie or use deceptive numbers to inflate the gain dB’s of their antennas. He also deflates those who use “new scientific breakthroughs” to explain the operation of their products. He pieces through the obfuscation of on-the-air antenna “experts” by explaining antennas, grounds, and feed lines in non-mathematical, simple English. His aim is to see that all understand the real basics of antennas, and are not taken in by the ever-prevalent, fine-sounding ad writers and other purveyors of false information.

Kurt wants you to know that downloading this work of art also entitles you to a free membership in KURTSKLUB, special product discounts, his oh-so-smart newsletter when he gets around to writing it, and more sage advice in his future books. You agree to keep your email box open, your mind free from commercial marketing hoop-la and let Kurt be your guide. Oh yea, spread the word, we need more members who seek true enlightenment like you!
