Radio Telephony for Amateurs (Classic Reprint)

Truly of the making of many books there is no end and in view of the large number of radio books already existant and advertised as in the process of preparation or printing, perhaps some justification is necessary for the appearance of another. My apologia is a simple one, and possibly one engendered by ideas and aspirations not unfamiliar to all other radio amateurs. Since connecting up my first receiving apparatus in 1908 I have longed for the appearance of a certain type of radio book; a book issuing preferably from the pen of an amateur, radiating the true amateur spirit of inquest and investigation, a book chockfull of practical information and suggestions for new things to do and instructions for going about it, in a word, a book which would at once ignite the spark of my enthusiasm and furnish the material for its combustion. Such a book has never appeared, nor ever shall for the great majority of us, for we have all our own ideas as to what the ideal radio book for amateurs should be like. But intercourse extending over a number of years with kindred spirits and frequent discussions with them on this subject has induced the belief that in the main our ideas converge in a common channel. This book represents my conception of the direction and breadth of this channel.
