(OHIO PENN DX) ** KICKER: TIME TO READ MORE THAN JUST YOUR S-METER STEPHEN/ANCHOR: Finally, in this part of the world where we produce Amateur Radio Newsline, summer has arrived - and for many that means it's time to read something more than just your S-meter. Randy Sly, W4XJ, shares some suggestions. RANDY: It's that time of year when some amateur radio operators abandon their shacks and head outdoors for the lazy crazy hazy days of summer. Whether you're sitting quietly on a beach, enjoying a mountain view or taking your hobby with you at a POTA station in a park, there may be times when you say, "What else can I do?" Well, when you're not operating ham radio, how about reading about ham radio? Not one of those technical manuals or heavy theory books, but a book about radio, about communicating, and all the fascinating and dramatic stories that go with it. With the help of Russell Calabrese, KR2NZ, the book club moderator for the Long Island CW club, I came up with a list of books that may make good summer reading for those moments when you're off the air. If you enjoy history, how about the "The World of Ham Radio," covering amateur radio in the early 20th century. Or try "Code Girls, The Untold Story of American Women Codebreakers of WWII." There's also "Brass Pounders, Young Telegraphers of the Civil War." Want to know how single sideband started? You can read "Wes Schum, Amateur Radio's Unsung Hero." Then, there's the book by Don Keith, N4KC, "Riding the Shortwaves," which contains some how-tos, along with fun anecdotes, stories and personal advice. For these and other recommendations, check our longer list in the the text version of this week's newscast at arnewsline.com. For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Randy Sly, W4XJ.
