Fred, KE7X, and Vic, VE3YT, have announced a new book called “The Successful Ham Radio Operator’s Handbook – Best Practices for all Hams”. This 267 page manual is aimed at the newly licensed ham who is trying to understand where to go next or the old-timer coming back to the hobby and learning about all the changes in radios and modes that have happened during years of inactivity due to a career and family. In it are explanations of how the various parts of the ham radio - the transmitter and receiver - work plus how these are being implemented using software designed radio technology. Operating techniques for VHF/UHF repeaters, HF radio DXing techniques, and the new digital modes are covered. Radio propagation, antennas, transmission lines, SWR and the mysteries of baluns are explained. Building your HF station, choosing a radio, connecting your radio to a computer, and mobile and portable operation are extensively covered. The book follows KE7X's philosophy of presenting material in several forms to accommodate people with different learning styles -- reading, visualizing, hands-on -- with the many figures and text explanations. There are hands-on exercises throughout the book that can help you learn more about any particular radio. Please go to www.ke7x.com<http://www.ke7x.com> to find more details and to see how this book differs from other introductory books. Thanks and 73, Fred KE7X and Vic VE3YT
