Easy to use, the volume is organized into major scientific categories and subcategories. Many of the quotes are hilarious, and all are insightful. Each quote is carefully referenced, and relevant information about the speaker is also provided.
A shortwave radio, without use of satellites, will receive commercial free foreign government supported English language radio programs from thousands of miles away! Shortwave radios can be built at home in a time period of a few hours to a few weeks. This book contains over one hundred illustrations. Written for both the expert and the novice, it provides information for understanding how the radios work, for obtaining the necessary parts, and for constructing the radios. Shortwave radios were first developed in the 1930s and new designs can be built to resemble radios of that era.
Fred's explanations are clear, readable, and friendly. Each project comes with a complete discussion of circuit theory, circuit board and parts placement layouts, excellent hints on building and testing each circuit, suggestions for packaging, and a complete parts list. Few things are as satisfying as when an electronic device you built yourself comes to life when you flip the "On" switch. You're guaranteed success with this essential book on your workbench!
