For those of us involved with local ham radio clubs, there's a nice guide now available from the Society for the Preservation of Amateur Radio. (http://www.spar-hams.org/)
Targeting newcomers and already-licensed hams upgrading to add HF privileges, the primer offers an overview of some of the interests and characteristics found on the bands. It's available at the following link, and can be downloaded and "customized" by the local clubs to include contact information for Elmers and other resources a ham can find near home. Please consider bringing attention to this booklet at your next club meeting ?
