Radio Handbook, Twenty Third Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The late Bill Orr, W6SAI, was a legend to many of us old timer hams. His books were always practical and helpful. Radio Handbook is no exception. This is a reprint of an older edition of Radio Handbook so its technology looks like 80's vintage. (Get the ARRL Handbook for recent stuff.) This book's strength is tube-type linear amplifiers. That's why I bought it and I'm happy with it. Very practical help and ideas. His general radio theory sections are quite clear as well. For other circuits and devices, I found the material rather dated. But for amps, it's my book!

The Arrl Satellite Handbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this book. Mr. Ford does an excellent job of describing what you need to know to work the sats. Read it three times and am still picking things up. This is VERY much worth the money. Been a ham since 1976 and I would highly recommend anyone new or old to the birds read his book. Excellent!!

ARRL's Wire Antenna Classics Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a collection of wire antenna constructions articles taken mostly from QST from the 1950ties up to 1998. Actually it is a simple compilation of copies of the articles.
I am personally missing a detailed list of the articles and some kind of Index. Otherwise it's great to read these fine articles packed with good ideas, and of cause if your target is set on a wire antenna not much has changed over the last 60 years - all solid information
Further to me it's a great thing to read original articles from G5RV and W3 DZZ - to me this is a first time
This small book is a treasure of gold in a number of different ways

Essentials of Radio Wave Propagation (The Cambridge Wireless Essentials Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I seldom have the desire to write any type of a review for a text that I would not recommend to someone else. However, I feel the need to say that if you are searching for a text to introduce you to radio wave propagation...just keep browsing. This is NOT the one to get. There is really very little of value here, in my humble opinion. This text has very little detail on any aspect of propagation and instead refers the reader to other works, such as the ITU-R publications, for further details, far too often. I was so relieved that I purchased it at a huge discount from a used bookseller.
I recommend the following texts:
Propagation of Radiowaves, 2nd Edition (Electromagnetic Waves)
Radiowave Propagation
Introduction to RF Propagation
