The English grammar rules are there to be used by those that desire their works to be admired and given credit.  After perusing over the first two paragraphs of his work, I too wondered how much credit could be attributed to the technical portion of his writings after noticing his terrible attempt at the use of English Grammar.

As he did, I too graduate from High School and after attending schools of higher learning for 9.5 years, I attained a Terminal Degree in Mathematics, which required writing a dissertation and defending it before a Major Professor and three of his collages.  At one time, I did possess the skills to correctly write the English Language; but over the years of hearing the English Language “butchered” by the so-called educated, I too have become lax in my writings habits.  However, I haven’t deteriorated so far in my old age so as to try to begin to understand your misuse of the rules of English grammar.

Just because you don’t ascribe to the current rules in writing the English language and follow the established rules of grammar that I will change enough to accept your kludge of words and their meaning.

Think about this, what would our "written word" look like today if everyone that were to write an article decided to use sentence structure that “Sounds Good to Him”, in the article he wrote.  That is one of the main reasons that people don’t speak and write the English Language correctly is because they have heard it “butchered” to death by those that don’t know how to correctly use it.

I bid you the best of luck in your writings and that you attain whatever it is that you aspire to be.

Who's talking about "legal"?  We're trying to make some grammar corrections to make it look as if you care about what you write.  As you stated in the very front of the manuscript, you've been away from school for a while.  I'm almost 70 years old but I volunteer at a nearby elementary school three days a week and I make corrections and suggestions in cases such as this quite often.

Just because the book is about "amateur" radio doesn't mean it can't look and sound "professional".

What's the point of reading book if the author takes no responsibility for the content?

A newspaper editor once said, "Apostrophes are like power tools; if you don't know how to properly use them, it's best to leave them alone."

Some quick rules: Apostrophes are not be used to warn readers that the next letter is going to be an "s." Too many times, even here on eHam, I've seen references to radio's, antenna's, power supply's, battery's, etc. The rule-of-thumb is that plurals don't need apostrophes, but they may sometimes need a different ending (e.g. power supplies, batteries).

Apostrophes are not used to designate possession for the words he, her, or it. It is his radio, her QTH, and its frequency range is ....

Apostrophes are frequently used to denote contractions, such as isn't (is not), can't (cannot), he's (he is or he was), we're (we are), you're (you are), and so forth.

Apostrophes are also used to denote possession by proper nouns (John's radio was a ---, Carla's call sign is...," "The FCC's stand on this is...."

So here's my suggestion; once you've written your article, have a proofreader or two check its grammar, and have an elmer or two verify its radio accuracy.  Although you may be a klutz at wordsmanship, your proofreaders can make you look like a pro. GL

GL with the book.

I do remember a fellow here in California a couple of years ago who did the bike ride across the USA, and he had a small trailer he pulled behind the bike.  he did have ham radio along, and If I remember he has a solar panel on the trailer to give him power ( charged a battery)  but I remember he also had to coordinate with local law enforcement, as you can't bike down the freeway.  It is a doable task. but you need to try some  "local" trips to get through then problems.  He  did take pictures and would usually get on every evening on hf to  update the web page.  I think he also found sponsors, but any how. good luck
