       "Computer-Aided Antenna/System Design of HF/VHF Stations
		 Including the Effect of Local Terrain"

 	  by Dean Straw, N6BV - Editor, ARRL Antenna Book

	       Friday, October 4,1996  -  3:00 to 9:00 PM
	      ARRL New England Division -  Boxboro, MA


     Discover the "System Approach" to the design of antennas -- learn about 
propagation, antenna selection, transmission line selection and putting it all 
together.  

    This workshop will demonstrate computer modelling and analysis of HF systems
plus VHF Yagis and other gain antennas.  You'll see modelling of antenna 
designs, including crude field-strength measurements.  You'll explore the effect of 
local terrain and environment on the elevation pattern for antennas, and see the 
launch angles required for efficient HF propagation to the world.

    The charge for 6 hours of workshop instruction and the accompanying workbook 
is $15 for ARRL members and $20 for non-members.  You may also purchase the ARRL
 Antenna Book (the 736-page 17th edition includes IBM-compatible software for Yagi 
analysis by 3 authors) for $30 plus $5 shipping.
