Bob et al,

I have a "copy" of Collins' Engineering Compendium: H-F Antenna Selection compiled by R.C. Fenwick and dated 20 January 1964. It was given to me by a fellow that worked in the Chrysler communications group, Charlie Gobiel. At one time Charlie held a VE2 call. I was working for AT&T at the time and Charlie was a customer.

I have no idea why I kept it all these years. It sure does smell musty.  :-)

Charlie must have used a Xerox machine to create this copy for me

There is another Collins SSB book. I found it in my company library. Its
called "Single Sideband Principles and Circuits". It was written by
Pappenfus, Bruene, and Schoenike and published in 1964.

I read once that Collins published an antenna book called "Engineering
Compendium: High Frequency Antennas". Has anyone ever heard of this one?
