Didn't this book come out after Don passed? Signed by the author, I guess.

Subject: RE: [TowerTalk] W6AM book availability
The book is a great read, even or perhaps especially if you had never heard
of him - though even as a kid in my pre-ham days we had heard of this guys
with big antennas down by the coast. Those rhombics were pretty awesome. And
some of the denizens of this reflector might enjoy how he dealt with the
CCRs he was up against (really!)
I imagine the $150 copy is signed - at least signed copies were in that
price range when last I looked.
I have also seen copies for sale on the shelf at HRO in Anaheim, if that is
any help...
