We are in the Dominican Republic now. I thought SolderSmoke blog readers would like the introduction to Frank Jones W6AJF's VHF handbook. (Click on the pictures for a better view. ) The book was published in 1961. Lots of good homebrew, VHF, and thermatron thinking in those pages. I will be using this book and the implied blessings of W6AJF in my upcoming 2 meter assault on the Mona Passage between the DR and Puerto Rico. (Thanks too to W3RTV, the original owner of the book!)

ReplyDeleteIt's worth noting this book is available used on eBay and for PDF* download from various sites. I have a copy of Bill Orr's _VHF Handbook_ (1956). It's excellent as well. Both refer solely to vacuum tubes as the active devices, but this only-slightly diminishes their usefulness as introductions to the mysteries of existence above 50MHz, the "undiscovered country."
