"It's mostly old guys erecting large antennas to connect their boat anchor tube radios to, from what I read online"

I disagree, it's much more that, far too much to discuss here. A starting point would be to check the ARRL and RSGB handbooks which provide a reasonably comprehensive overview of AR. (Google each for more info.)

There are many more specialist books if you want even more in-depth information.

You can say that again, for example please check this excellent references by ARRL for radio communications [1].
