I bought this book pretty much as a joke but it does have some great info for the seasoned ham as well as a newer guy like me.

This is a great book!!! It has so much helpful information and advice. It is written in such a way that us non-energinering people can understand it. I love the clarity of the writing, It is also very practical, with many down to earth hints and ideas.
I hope Ward writes a sequel!!!

I bought this one for a friend of mine as an introduction to our great hobby. After reading in some chapters I am thinking of buying another one and keep this copy for me. It is not only for the beginner but also for the more experienced ham. You find a lot of very useful things in it.

A good starter.

About 10 years had passed since I earned my ticket and from when I actually got on the air. This was the first book I picked up in order to get an overview of amateur radio.
It's a quick read, not very technical and answers many questions that new hams have. Aside from the ARRL material, I found this to be a very useful book in order to get started in the hobby

I just bought a copy of this for someone I"m hoping to elmer. Not the be-all and end-all but a lot of material, not too hard technically but high enough level to be interesting, to get someone interested - the kind of person who's a ham and just doesn't know it yet! Was $19.00 at the local Barnes & Borders, not bad. For Dummies books are good anyway, a good way to get up to speed on a subject, so I was happy to see this when it came out.

FANTASTIC

I have been licensed for 20 years. I have read, and own, many books on the subject of Ham Radio. Some are good, some are OK and some are not so good. That is an opinion. I believe that no one author is going to please everyone. All that being said, I found this to be one of the most informative and entertaining books I have read to date. I don't claim to know everything about Ham Radio but neither am I a complete novice. I think everyone can get a lot from Ward's book. I have 2 grandsons, ages 8 and 11 and I bought one for each of them. My hope is they get at least some of the knowledge and enjoyment that I got. I will always have one on my shelf and it will always be available for anyone to borrow. (However, I will loan it to only people I know cuz I had Ward sign it) 73 Terry
