any will agree that L.B.
Cebik, W4RNL is one of the most prolific authors around on the subject of antennas. One
can hardly crack open a radio or antenna book or magazine without seeing his excellent
insightful intellectual writings. He has been called an antenna "Guru" by many
of his followers and has truly earned that title. LB is certainly an expert on this
subject, whatever the "title."
Now, antenneX's Shopping Shack is proud to offer this CD-ROM Version #10 that has captured a collection of more than 800 of LB's articles and notes published by antenneX for your reading pleasure. The collection contains information of interest to radio amateurs as well as professionals interested in antennas, antenna modeling, and related subjects, such as antenna tuners and impedance matching. LB's notebooks are geared to helping other radio amateurs and antenna enthusiasts discover what he has managed to uncover over the years--and then to go well beyond to new discoveries.
The 10th Edition of Tales and Technicals contains the entire suite of notes and articles from W4RNL's website through December 2008. The Quad, LPDA, Moxon and VHF antenna entries offer insights into the modeling and design of these antennas, and also offer the builder many new opportunities for projects. The series--Antennas from the Ground Up, Antenna Modeling, and An-Ten-Ten-nas—all have many new additions. As well as new entries, many of the earlier notes have been updated. For example, the note on sources of modeling software has extensive revisions, including the latest website URLs for software makers. Note, however, such links over time may become stale.
What is a "Note" vs an "Article"...?? ".....Essentially, there is no difference between the two, although I tend at the site to refer to everything that is there as "notes." When folks think article, they think of something that is permanent for all time, since there is a publication source, etc. But at my site, whatever the start in life of an item, it is subject to ongoing revision as I find out something new or better or more correct, but not enough to make up a new item. If I do revise an item, I either change or add to the date both in the item and on the main index page (or one of the subsidiary index pages, such as those for quads and Moxon rectangles).....LB Cebik" |
The CD-ROM will run with any late edition browser and saves you considerable on-line time by placing all of the notes at your fingertips. All of the internal links within the site are operative, with only the links to other sites inactive (unless you happen to be on line and the external links will work too). The main index leads directly to many articles and also to smaller indices covering collections of related articles.
Here's what one happy reader has to say:
"...The more browsing of this disk I do, the greater the bargain it appears to be. It is absolutely loaded! I wish I had a laptop to browse it with when I'm away from home and need some good reading. Besides packing a great deal of antenna info into a small, efficient package, L. B has also made good use of the interactive nature of HTML. His article index is comprehensive and easy to use, and he hot-links concepts in one article that relate to another. (Boy, I wish my collection of old CQ, QST, Hamradio and 73 could do that...) ... Tom Cox, KA5NEE..."
