Radio amateurs are familiar with antennas and use them every day to communicate on the air. We learned some basic antenna theory while studying for license exams, and most of us have built an antenna or two. We know the basics and turn to the ARRL Handbook, ARRL Antenna Book, and other general texts when thinking about our next antenna project.
Ham Radio: Where Hands-On Lives On!
Lifelong learners will welcome Volume 3 of ARRL s Hands-On Radio Experiments, assembled from the past four years (2013-2017) of QST s monthly Hands-On Radio column, written by Ward Silver, N0AX. Silver expertly leads you through 57 basic electronics experiments, designed to increase your understanding of radio fundamentals, components, circuits and design.
The Most Complete Reference and Guide for Radio Communications
The ARRL Handbook advances your pursuit of radio experimentation, discovery, and achievement. Each edition contains new and useful material to support Amateur Radio activity from the traditional short- and long-wave frequencies through microwaves!
Radio amateurs are known for electronic experimentation and homebrew building. Using the wide variety of components available, they design and build impressive radio equipment. With the industry growth of components for wireless communications and surface mount technology (SMT), the choices available seem endless and selecting the proper component can seem a daunting task. Fortunately, most amateurs tend to use a limited number of component types that have “passed the test of time,” making component selection in many cases easy and safe. Others are learning to design and build using the vast array of SMT parts.
In the world of radio, the antenna is “where the rubber meets the road!” With antennas so fundamental to communication, it is important that the amateur have a basic understanding of their function. That understanding enables effective selection and application of basic designs to whatever communications task is at hand. In addition, the amateur is then equipped to engage in one of the most active areas of amateur experimentation, antenna design.

"I have written this book with help from my good friend Val Gardner and my wife Gwen MOGWA who helped me to compose, edit and prepare for publishing. I have self published this book and funded it by choice so I do apologise for any mistakes or errors you find and I wil l be pleased to know about any.
It is intended to help with the understanding of amplifiers and help those who intend to build or repair HF, VHF and UHF amplifiers. The choice of valves is huge and is still the most economical way of generating a stronger signal from your radio station...
Are you an Amateur Radio enthusiast? Or are you looking to get into this amazing hobby because you've heard about some of the interesting things you can do like tracking satellites, communicating in Morse code or perhaps playing a game over the air, and you want to try them out?
