3. From Joseph V. to Joe N.

"I bought this to study for the General before I was licensed since I knew I’d pass Technician easily.

I hope this brings you all the joy it has brought me."  -- Joseph

"I currently hold a technician ticket and would like to upgrade to general in order to expand my range of experience and work more HF. I own an HF radio but I am unable to use it until I buy or build an antenna. My preference is to build the antenna so I understand it’s function in a more complete manner. When I obtained my technician rating my 10 year old daughter and I built my first antenna for 2 meter / 70 cm and it worked perfectly. Fun lesson for old and young people. I really appreciate the opportunity to have the materials needed to gain knowledge and experience in ham radio. Passing on the knowledge from experienced hams is one great aspect of this hobby. 73!

This will be a great addition to the library of a budding ham radio operator as they build a station they are proud to operate!! Hey I hope this book brings you much joy as you begin this wonderful hobby of Ham Radio!!! 73 Mike - N4STL"

"I have been a ham since middle school. I worked with Red Cross, AREC, and RACES on emergency training and realities. I was quite proficient as a net control operator. I have not been very active in ham radio over the past years while raising my family. I want to get active again, but could use some coaching so I don't trip over myself. I seem to be the prospective Elmer for several other new hams in my area, but need a kick start myself. I love to read, and to apply what I learn. Thank you for sharing of your knowledge through books, read and assimilated. This helps keep the ham radio spirit of cooperation and working together alive." -- Don D.

Power Supplies Explained ↓↓↓

1. From William R. to Leonard F.

"I purchased this book to gain a better understanding of power supply theory. An excellent resource. I hope you get as much enjoyment from this book as I did. " -- William

"I am a Lic. General and I live on St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. I want to learn about Antennas and power supplies so that I can help other Hams build antennas to improve communications here in the Islands. The terrain is mountainous, and comms are difficult at times, especially after storms that destroys regular infrastructures. Ham radio becomes critically important to get the assistance to where it is most needed, as early as possible.

I appreciate your willingness to share with other fellow Hams. This is what Amateur Radio is all about...helping each other. Thank you, and May God's Blessings be yours." -- Leonard
