"The Successful Ham Radio Operator's Handbook--Best Practices for all Hams"

By Fred Cady, KE7X and Vic DiCiccio, VE3YT

This book helps new operators and returning old-timers learn about the breadth of exciting ham radio activities and challenges available today.

The book includes:

* How the radio works, including new architectures, such as software defined radio technology and direct sampling receivers. If you understand how a noise blanker or roofing filter or AGC works, you can use these features successfully.

* The excitement of different facets of ham radio, including explanations of digital modes, weak signal VHF, public service and emergency preparedness, DXing, mobile operations, and how to get permission to operate abroad.

* How to easily make your own dipoles and verticals, and how to feed your antenna, including types of baluns, how they work and how to make them, and how to select coax.

* How propagation works, and what to do if you're having trouble making QSOs.

If you're looking for a fast way to get up to speed on the many facets of amateur radio, order "The Successful Ham Radio Operator's Handbook--Best Practices for all Hams" from DX Engineering!
