[TowerTalk] W6AM book availability

[Jeff Stai WK6I]

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...
