Homebrew Cookbook
If you're interested in home construction, Eamon Skelton, EI9GQ is the acknowledged expert in this field. The RadCom columnist on the subject, Eamon brings his enthusiasm, common sense and easy-to-understand approach to the "Homebrew Cookbook," such that readers will be reaching for their soldering iron with inspiration. This 208-page paperback starts with the very basics of homebrew and progresses to advanced topics. There are construction methods that take you right through all the main techniques, from dead-bug layouts to dedicated printed circuit designs. The PCB section is packed with simple ideas that will allow you to make PCBs cheaply without any specialist equipment. Eamon even shows you how to use sunshine or cheap halogen security lights as a UV source! Construction projects start with receiver designs and a simple direct conversion receiver, followed by a more sophisticated superhet receiver. "Homebrew Cookbook" also includes an SSB transmitter, PA and a VHF transverter. All the designs are modular, making it very easy to extract sections for other uses and adapt the designs to suit your needs. Where test equipment is required, Eamon has simple circuits on hand to enable you to build your own rather than have to buy commercial equipment. Eamon also deals with homebrew antennas, offering lots of useful tips for making practical and effective antennas with junk-box components. Throughout the book is an adherence to homebrew principles, as all projects use simple construction techniques with cheap, readily obtainable, components. Eamon even tells you how to make the most of eBay to find what you need.

50 Projects for the Radio Amateur
Many radio amateurs love to design and construct electronic projects—from the very simple, right through to the very complex. "50 Projects for Radio Amateurs" draws together a wide array of projects that the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) has published. You'll find projects as diverse as antennas, simple test equipment through to 70cm hand-helds, and much besides. This 256-page paperback is broken into sections that cover Measurement and Filters, Morse, Antennas—and a large section covering useful station accessories, peripherals and other diverse projects. The projects included range from complex DIY antenna analyzers through to a simple electronic keyer and builds on simple strip board. There are two transceivers that you can build alongside antennas for bands from Microwaves to HF. There are also four handy reference guides explaining Using 10Ghz, Screening, Baluns and Aerial Maintenance. This book has something for everyone, whatever their level of construction ability—and all will find something interesting to construct and build. Most projects are also straightforward and can often be built in a weekend or over a few evenings. All the projects included in "50 Projects for Radio Amateurs" are selected to stimulate and inspire you to get out the soldering iron and get building the array of useful tools, interesting antennas and much more that are included in the book. It is thoroughly recommended reading for any level of amateur radio constructor.
