DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to John Mc Sweeney. Great for it's intended purpose, should be read by all!. Well worth the read for a beginner. This book provided an excellent intro into ALL radio, not just shortwave. The book title ignores the fact that the book deals with HAM and Scanner radio. Also, it was a bit elementary, but was filled with lots of helpful explanations and references. For a novice like me it was perfect! Well worth the read.. Excellent non-technical survey of shortwave radio and more Ross Archer (archer@topnow.com) If you're new to hobby radio, this is THE perfect book to take to the beach and read.
