ARRL Handbook

[Sonwatcher]

Does anyone have this jewel ? I just got one today in the mail. That thing is big and loaded with great info. My daughter saw it and I told her she had to read it tonight and give a book report in the morning. She wasn't impressed

I have one from a few years ago. It's a great reference for just about any ham radio topic. I think mine came with a CD that I'll have to look for, too. I also have an older ARRL Antenna handbook. That's a good one, as well.

The one I just bought is for the year 2000. It is like brand new. I got it off Ebay for under $5 . I figured it would help me in the things I don't understand electronically as well as a good project resource .

great books, even the oldies from the 1940's onwards can be interesting,
its surprising what those old timers knew back then.

Currently using the General Class Handbook to study for the test. Also using www.hamtestonline.com. Between the two, I'm learning a great deal.

These are very in depth books. They cover a lot. This one is around 1200 pages. About 2x's thicker than my Extra Study book. They include a lot of projects. But you are right. Those study books are a goldmine for learning.

Yes they are great books. Last year for Christmas I received the Handbook and the Antenna Book which also comes with a CD. Both are chock full of information and great references.
