The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications 2010 (2009, Package)

A great reference for both the novice and accomplished Ham. Advertised as the biggest ARRL handbook to date, it jumps right into the meat of being a Ham, from electronic theory and FCC rules, to antenna designs -- with just minimal ARRL puff. Most interesting is the number of hands-on projects presented, from the simple to advanced, including transmitters, power supplies, and beyond. So whether you are a new or old Ham, you'll find the handbook to be a treasure-trove of helpful insights and rock-solid information.
