Electronics Books of Interest to QRP Enthusiasts Version 1.2
|
|
August 20, 1996
|
|
Compiled by L. B. Cebik, W4RNL
|
|
|
|
Contents: This file contains basic information on electronics books
|
|
of especial interest to QRP enthusiasts. It lists QRP Operating,
|
|
Technique, and History Books; Basic Project Books; Advanced Design and
|
|
Text Books; and General Reference Works. These listings provide
|
|
something for the beginner through the advanced QRP enthusiast and for
|
|
both operators, and designer-builders.
|
|
|
|
Except for certain basic reference works, the list does NOT include
|
|
standard, general interest amateur radio books. There are many such
|
|
works that will be of interest to the QRP enthusiast. However, some
|
|
limit has had to be imposed upon the list to keep it within useful
|
|
boundaries. For this same reason, books on antennas are not included
|
|
in this listing: the number of antenna books of interest to QRP
|
|
enthusiasts is too large.
|
|
|
|
Periodicals of interest to QRP enthusiasts and antenna books of
|
|
interest to QRP enthusiasts will be found in separate listings.
|
|
|
|
Each entry in this book list provides the following information:
|
|
author, title, publisher, year of publication, cost, ISBN #, numbers
|
|
of pages, and a brief description of the contents.
|
|
|
|
Special thanks go to DL8MFQ, WA8MCQ, AK0B, W6EMD, N2CX, KC4EWT, N3LSB,
|
|
and WA6AHL for their assistance in compiling this list.
|
|
|
|
The individual items in this list are believed to be reasonably
|
|
complete and accurate as of the date of this notice. Corrections and
|
|
additions may be e-mailed to me at the listed address. I shall be
|
|
pleased to add to the list any publication omitted if it is of high
|
|
interest to QRP operators and builders. And, of course, I shall be
|
|
pleased to correct any errors and update the information listed.
|
|
|
|
Permission to reproduce this list is hereby granted on condition that
|
|
a full reference to its source is included.
|
|
|
|
Good reading, good building, and good operating to you.
