The Radio Amateur's Handbook

First Edition 1926

This handbook is written as a guide for member-operators of the League. It is also useful as a source of information to the man who wants to take part in amateur radio activity but who has no idea of how to get started. Written first of all for the beginner, such an amount of useful and up-to- date information has been added that the handbook in its present form is equally valuable as a compendium of information for the experienced brass-pounder and the beginner alike. The suggestions for building and using apparatus are based on experience. The printed matter included within these pages is not intended for use as a textbook but is rather to be used as a handbook. Any theory discussed is as simple and fundamental as it can be made. The book is intended as a practical rather than as a theoretical work.
