I got started in 1977 when I was 14 years old. Already by then I had been reading ham magazines and such learning about antennas and propagation.By the time I was 16, which would be 1979 I had my own copies of the ARRL Handbook and the ARRL Antenna book as well as more from the ARRL and the RSGB. I knew about ground gain at least that far back. It was not something that was unknown but rather something that you had to learn about and do so from the right source and not from Billy Bob's CB Shop and Steakhouse.
