    Claude Jollet was born in the predominantly French-speaking province of Québec, Canada in 1946. He retired from a 31 year career in operational meteorology in 1997. In addition to his formal training in meteorology, he holds a degree in Computerized Management Systems from Université du Québec à Montréal.

    In his spare time, he liked to tinker with radios and antennas. He obtained his license to operate an amateur radio station in 1973. His call sign has been VE2DPE since then.

    A self-proclaimed eclectic, he has spawned a number of websites, each a byproduct of his passions: meteorology, amateur radio, "infopreneurship" and... writing, of course. Here are some examples:

    www.HamRadioSecrets.com

    www.LeRadioAmateur.com

    www.ClaudeJollet.com

    www.Meteo-NDP.info

    www.ClaudeJollet.ca

    He self-published a four-book series on Amateur Radio HF Antennas:

    eBook 1: Introduction

    ISBN: 978-0-9916968-2-6

    eBook 2: HF Antennas for Limited Space

    ISBN: 978-0-9916968-3-3

    eBook 3: Homemade HF Antennas

    ISBN: 978-0-9916968-7-1

    eBook 4: HF Antenna Accessories

    ISBN: 978-0-9950273-0-5

    eBook 5: The compendium edition containing all four eBooks

    ISBN: 978-0-9950273-5-0 (paperback)

    ISBN: 978-0-9950273-3-6 (Kindle eBook)

    He also authored a miniseries of eBooks, in French, titled:

    Antennes filaires HF pour radioamateurs TOME 1 - exploration inusitée

    ISBN : 978-1-9994336-1-1

    Antennes filaires HF pour radioamateurs TOME 2 - pour espaces réduits

    ISBN : 978-1-9994336-4-2

    Antennes filaires HF pour radioamateurs - Compendium

    ISBN : 978-1-9994336-8-0

    Until recently, his eBooks had all been non-fiction, in English. However, he has also self-published a book of poems and short stories, in French, titled:

    L'homme et son fardeau: transsudations poétiques

    Paperback ISBN: 978-1-9994336-0-4

    Kindle eBook ISBN: 978-0-9950273-7-4

    4.0 out of 5 stars Homemade HF Antennas
    Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    The reason I gave only four stars is that the author did not include some real world antennas he used himself. Otherwise the info is very good, especially with beginner Hams taking their first steps into the wild and interesting world of HF communications. I have been licensed since 1979, and have used almost totally wire antennas to the point that a buzzard would not be able to fly through my backyard untouched. My favorite wire is covered #10 stranded as it will carry from 1W up to 2.5Kw at resonance, yet be strong and flexible enough to take any abuse the weather can throw at it. It also reduces "copper loss" found in smaller diameter wire. I do run a Mosely TA-36 Trapmaster with the 40M add on kit for Navy/Air Force MARS use, but that is the only commercially made antenna in use at my shack. Buy the books, the info is great for beginners and oldtimers alike.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing of any substance
    Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2020

    Not much substance here. First part of the book is nothing more than a promo for various antenna modeling software, rest of the book is a rehash of the antenna section of a technician class study guide. Disappointing, at best. No comparisons, no new ideas, basically little more than a " how to hang a dipole" guide.
