Building on the success of Prompt's publishing of the very first HAM Radio Guide (Hayden) in the late-1960s, Prompt brings the HAM radio user up-to-date with the 2nd edition of HAM Radio Operator's Guide. Bergquist has updated this recent text with the latest in HAM technology, regulations, and ideas.

From the Back Cover

What kind of exciting and challenging hobby is shared by doctors, sales people, lawyers, auto mechanics, truckers, Ph.D.s, retired civilian and military employees, homemakers, writers and a variety of others? Why HAM radio of course! The radios, antennas, and frequencies are an important part of HAM radio, but it is the people that make it truly special. It is their commitment and adoration for the hobby that makes it rewarding. The opportunity to meet people from all walks of life - and even all parts of the world - that share the love of HAM radio is what makes it well worth becoming a part of!

Whether you are just getting into the exciting field of HAM radio, or are a seasoned veteran, The Howard W. Sams Ham Radio Operator's Guide is a book you should not find yourself without! Written by noted author and HAM operator Carl J. Bergquist KG4AIC, this book is sure to become an invaluable part of your enjoyment of HAM radio.

Bergquist writes Howard W. Sams Ham Radio Operator's Guide from the perspective of a new user, while keeping the experienced operator in mind. Coverage includes getting your amateur radio license, a large section on equipment ranging from antenna types to power supplies, education, contests, clubs, safety, as well as often-overlooked topics like jargon and etiquette. Also included are instructions for several exciting construction projects such as a field strength meter, antennas, a power distribution center, and other add-ons to dress up any HAM shack.

Following a successful career as a photojournalist for AP, UPI, The New York Times, Newsweek, and other publications, author Carl J. Bergquist turned his efforts toward his lifelong hobby of electronics, publishing articles in Popular Electronics and Electronics Now.
