Synopsis
This book provides a thorough introduction for radio amateurs who are interested in the traditional area of short wave listening. It explains exactly what short wave listening is, how radio waves travel, what equipment is needed to receive a signal, how to set up and run a short wave listening station and importantly, how to obtain an amateur radio licence.
Each topic covered is clearly explained and further illustrated by the accompanying diagrams. Thus a description of wave propagation by all modes relevant to the HF bands is given in the chapter on radio waves. Likewise various types of transmission which can be encountered on the short wave are detailed - morse, amplitude modulation, single sideband, frequency modulation, data modes including RTTY, packet and amtor etc. The practicalities of short wave listening are discussed, from the buying of a new or second hand radio and the making and erecting of an aerial to selecting ancillary equipment to enhance the operation of receivers and aerials.
Ian Poole is an electronic engineer currently involved in project management for the development of a large radio system. He is a regular contributor to Electronics - The Maplin Magazine, Everyday with Practical Electronics and Practical Wireless. He has also written several books on amateur radio.
