37th Edition, 1960 The Radio Amateurs Handbook The Standard Manual of Amateur Radio Communication

1960. Internationally recognized as the standard manual of amateur radio communication, The Radio Amateur's Handbook, over a span of a quarter of a century, has grown from modest beginnings to the world's most valuable and widely-used radio book. Just as amateur techniques and developments have often been forerunners of professional engineering practices, and the amateur body itself becomes a training ground in providing executives, engineers, and technicians for the radio industry, so has this text become the all-purpose volume of radio. Retaining the material on theoretical fundamentals, principles, and design which has long made the Handbook so valuable a work, the latest edition has been further revised and integrated with constructional data. the practicing radioman and the student as well may find herein practical examples and application of the theory he is learning, In its capacity as a text alone, the Handbook is probably more widely used in radio schools and colleges than any other single volume. Emphasizing practical utility with a wealth of illustrated constructional material, the Handbook treats communications problems in factual how-to-do-it terms rather than by purely academic abstract discussions and abstruse mathematical formulas. Copies of this all-purpose reference source are invariably found in the possession of radio manufacturers, schools, engineering firms, experimental laboratories, and military communications units. In the annual modification and revision of the Handbook there has always been the paramount objective of presenting the proved and soundest aspects of current engineering practice rather than the merely new and novel. Text, data book, constructional manual, operating book -- no publication in the fast-moving and progressive science of radio equals the Handbook in universal application and appeal.
