While looking for something entirely different, I came across this. I wonder
if anyone has this book?
Grant, KM5KG, is one of the most experienced broadcast engineers around.

Grant claims:
"A New Book from Grant Bingeman, KM5KG
112 pages 8.5 by 11 inches
This book presents 30 practical wire antenna designs that fit inside a 40 by
40 by 30 foot tall space, including the ground system. This report is
specially written for the ham radio operator who lives on a typical quarter
acre lot and has to maintain a practical budget.
E field radiation efficiencies of 75 percent are possible over a very
limited ground system of 18 buried radial wires only 20 feet long."
On the surface this seems to agree with what I find. There are dozens of
ways to have about the same results. I wonder what Grant has in the book?
