Ballantine, Stewart, Radio Telephony For Amateurs, Mackay Co, 1922. Almost 300 pages. Hardback in remarkably good condition considering it will be 100 years old in 15 short years. Cover wear and a bit dirty. Interesting to browse to put yourself in the place of the many who must have learned much from this text. Great pictures. $25 Carr, Joseph, Secrets of RF Circuit Design, TAB, 1991. Very good, but not excellent. Somewhat simplistic. Hardback like new. $18 Carr, Joseph, How To Troubleshoot & Repair Amateur Radio Equipment, TAB, 1980. Like the above book, this is a light treatment--very useful in a practical sense. But not exactly Terman. 425 page hardback. $18 Carr, Joseph, The Complete Handbook of Radio Receivers and Transmitters, TAB, 1980. This is actually two books under one cover--one on receivers and one on transmitters. As you might expect, the title can not possibly be lived up to and it is not. Still, this is a typically-good Carr text well-worth your time. $20 Thanks for looking. 73, Don Merz, N3RHT ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
