Schraeder was the text for my Communications class in tech school in the early 80s. One requirement to pass the course was to earn the FCC General Class Radiotelephone license. I believe nearly everyone in the class did. It also made it pretty easy to upgrade my ham ticket from Novice to Advanced during that time. I still have my copy and still refer to it from time to time. The fundamentals never change. On Sat, May 26, 2018 at 9:16 AM K8TE <billama...@gmail.com> wrote:
