Re: NEC-LIST: 1) Collinears, 2) Yagi Antenna Designer's Handbook

Hello Duncan,

Concerning (1) this brings to mind a paper I wrote on mobile antennas:
"Vehicular Antennas for 800 MHz Mobile Radio Band", J.S. Belrose, in
Proceedings for 33rd IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference, Toronto, ON, May
1983. This is not what you looking for, if your intent is to design,
but the subject addressed is something that no one knows anything about, or
everyone ignors. Mobile "gain" antennas only work really well in in an
uncluttered signal environment --- in the countryside, or on a street down
which the signal channels.

Re (2) the only book I know having a similar title is "Yagi Antenna Design"
by James L. Lawson, W2PV, ARRL Publication, 1986. But this book is
strictly HF --- however frequencies scale.

Nowadays good designs for collinar/stacked yagi antennas would be arrived
at by exercising NEC, but only if you have an antenna optimizing code ---
which I do not have.
