You'll understand how a power system works, be able to talk intelligently with equipment suppliers about your needs, and have the necessary tools to make and manage your own electricity. Beyond the efficient production and consumption of electrical power, this book offers a window to the world of independent living, a world that encompasses elements such as shelter, food, health, education and recreation. These elements of an independent life-style come together in the home, whether the home exists in a house on land or a boat at sea, or temporarily in a recreational vehicle. The author shows that living independently does not mean being isolated or doing without, but rather having the opportunity and the ability to take control of your life, to live simply yet elegantly, and to have the courage to follow your own path when convention defies common sense. More and more people are realizing that independence of this nature tends to empower individuals, strengthen families and rejuvenate small communities. Independent Energy Guide helps you achieve an element of independence in your life. It supersedes Boatowner's Energy Planner, a previous work by Kevin Jeffrey. 288 pages.

Friedrichs Are you interested in building sensitive audio amplifiers from magnets, a shoe-polish tin and a couple of carbon rods? How about a working triode vacuum tube built from candle holders and old glass ashtrays? Perhaps youd like to construct your own transistor from plumbers fittings, glass beads, and a tiny crystal. If so, youve come to the right place. Instruments of Amplification is jam-packed with history, science background, basic theory, and hard-to-find hands-on details pertaining to the construction of an amazing array of homebrew amplifying devices. Rooted in the same build-it-from-scratch philosophy that made his first book, The Voice of the Crystal, a success, Instruments of Amplification reduces complex devices to their essential elements and then shows how they can be constructed from commonly available materials. In the process of building, youll also learn secrets that will find application to the other projects. Learn to drill a hole in a glass, generate high voltages, or create and measure a high vacuum. Learn how to dismantle a light bulb, harvest carbon from old batteries, or deposit a layer of metal onto a glass so thin that it is transparent! How about creating your own primitive semiconductor materials from garden-shed chemicals? The list goes on and on! The wealth of information contained in this book is augmented by 150 photos, illustrations, and engravings, in addition to numerous charts, tables, and formulas. Readers interested in further exploration will appreciate the 120+ references to period books, magazines, CD-ROMs and Web sites. 302 pages. (c) 2003, by H. Peter Friedrichs.

RF Components and Circuits covers the practicalities of designing and building circuits, including fault-finding and use of test equipment. The RF circuits covered in this book are the heart of the electronic design of TV sets, personal mobile radios, remote control systems, mobile phones, and digital TV and radio, making it essential reading for radio and electronics engineers, students and advanced electronics hobbyists. Joe Carr demystifies the RF design process, presenting real-world design principles, tips and rules-of-thumb with a minimum of mathematics. By explaining how different circuit types work, and how they can be modified, Joe provides a masterclass for electronics experts and newcomers to RF design alike. Some basic knowledge of electronics is assumed, but the essential features of RF are fully described, including the important topic of receiver dynamics which is often overlooked in basic textbooks. The theory and circuit descriptions are geared toward genuine design applications rather than the oversimplifications and skeleton circuits of many college texts. During his career, the late Joe Carr was one of the worlds leading writers on electronics and radio, and an authority on the design and use of RF systems. Whether you are looking for a complete self-study course in RF Technology, or a concise reference to dip into, this book has the solution. 416 pages. First edition, (c) 2002, by Joseph J.

The Secret Wireless War offers a history of the SIS, its growing use of wireless in the 1930's, its involvement in the dissemination by wireless of Enigma (Ultra) intelligence, and a whole range of secret uses of wireless as part of the successful prosecution of the war. The Secret Wireless War documents the personal tales of those who were part of this most secret of units, and events that helped to win the war: secret agents abroad, wireless operators handling "Ultra" and agent's traffic, wireless engineers, interceptors, and administrators; the story of Churchill's personal wireless operator; a fleet of 70+ Packard motor cars and converted Dodge ambulances used as mobile wireless stations; and hams listening to the Abwehr (German secret service) and the Gestapo. This is an extraordinary story that includes hams among those patriots that undoubtedly helped the allied war effort. 194 illustrations including pictures of secret agent's wireless sets! 416 pages, high-quality paper, hardback.

(ISBN: 0-87259-883-7) #8837 -- $149.00 ------------------------ Theory and Practice of Transmission Line Transformers CD-ROM -- by Jerry Sevick, W2FMI This tutorial introduces the theory and practice of transmission line transformers (TLT). The TLT, which was first introduced by Guanella in 1944, was meant to match the high impedance of a 960-ohm push-pull vacuum tube amplifier to the low impedance of a 60-ohm coaxial cable in the high-frequencyband. Although Guanella's objective could never be realized, his goal remains useful today. With the advent of the transistor, the TLT can be applied to matching low impedances to coaxial cable of up to 50 ohms. Understanding transmission line theory is a prerequisite to understanding TLTs because they transmit energy from input to output by a transmission mode. In an innovative approach to the subject, Sevick divides TLTs into four classes: TLTs with ratios of 1:1, 1:4, less than 1:4 and greater than 1:4. The first two sections in this course cover 1:1 baluns and 1:4 baluns and ununs, as discussed by Guanella and Ruthroff. Additional sections review TLTs with ratios less than 1:4 and greater than 1:4, such as 1:6, 1:9, 1:12.

Order Now! ------------------------ Tune in the Universe! -- Amateur Radio and the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence by Dr. H. Paul Shuch, N6TX Interactive book on CD-ROM. I congratulate Dr. Shuch on his lucid, comprehensive, and often very amusing account of the radio search for ETs. --Sir Arthur C. Clarke Are we alone in the Universe? Are the stars teeming with intelligent life, or does human civilization exist in absolute solitude? Either alternative has profound implications for the future of humanity. Scientists throughout the world are working to answer this question--and Amateur Radio can play a vital role. Tune In The Universe! is a radio amateurs guide to the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). It is an interactive book on CD-ROM, which can be read on any computer with ordinary web-browser software (easy-to-use hypertext format, just pop in the disc and Tune in the Universe!). Its six sections are part history, part tutorial, and part memoir. It seeks to involve radio amateurs, amateur astronomers, and other hobbyists in a scientifically credible search for our cosmic companions. Dr. SETI, aka H. Paul Shuch, N6TX, has made an enticing, personal, good-humored, wise, and browse-able book on one CD. Tune In The Universe! is as diverse as the topic itself, packed with helpful accounts of half-a-dozen relevant disciplines, rational model calculations, detailed savvy hardware specs, memoirs of false signals both naïve and subtle, and much more. --SETI pioneer Prof. Philip Morrison, ex-W8FIS (first proposed the radio search for extraterrestrial civilizations in 1959.) Science fiction luminary and SETI proponent Sir Arthur C. Clarke adds, "Perhaps, as some wit remarked, the best proof that there is Intelligent Life in Outer Space is the fact it hasn't come here. Well, it can't hide forever -- one day we will overhear it." Dr. H. Paul Shuch, N6TX is the Executive Director of The SETI League. The organization is dedicated to the electromagnetic Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. Dr. Shuch, a radio amateur himself, has long been involved in the microwave search for life in space. He will donate a portion of each sale to benefit the nonprofit SETI League, Inc. Tune in the Universe is richly illustrated with color images and drawings, and includes recordings of 16 Dr. SETI songs. CD-ROM. Requires a web browser, running under Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, or Linux operating systems. (c) 2001, H. Paul Shuch. Published by American Radio Relay League, Inc.

Cain, K1TN This is the history of three travelers spanning the birth of YASME--the boat that carried young sailor Danny Weil on his first voyages beginning in 1954--and the lives of famed ham radio DXpeditioners Lloyd and Iris Colvin.
