This is off topic... but maybe not too
offensive in that department.
I received some gift certificates for the ARRL recently.
I'm looking at their technical books.
Do you all have any you particularly find useful?
I have $$ enough to get two of the moderately priced, or
one of the hefty ones. And I already have the 2006 ARRL Handbook.
I think I'm looking for a "learning" book, not necessarily a reference.
And reprints/compilations of QST/QEX articles really don't do much
for me. I feel like I already have enough unfinished projects without
getting a bunch more.
In order of interest (so far) I'm looking at:
Experimental Methods in RF Design
-- by Wes Hayward, W7ZOI, Rick Campbell, KK7B, and Bob Larkin, W7PUA
Practical Radio Frequency Test & Measurement
-- A Technician's Handbook
by Joseph J. Carr.
ARRL Antenna Book
These also look interesting...
Instruments of Amplification
-- Fun With Homemade Tubes, Transistors, and More
Radio Receiver Design
-- by Kevin McClaning and Tom Vito
RF Components and Circuits
-- by Joe Carr
RSGB Radio Communication Handbook
-- 8th Edition
Communications Receivers
-- DSP, Software Radios, and Design
by Ulrich L. Rohde, KA2WEU/DJ2LR and Jerry C. Whitaker
