Description: This publication is more than a book of illustrations. It is a tribute to a legend, a man who created more than 1500 pieces of art for QST. The work of Philip "Gil" Gildersleeve, W1CJD, became a tradition. In tribute to this talented, creative and devoted artist and ham, the ARRL presents in this book a reprint of a portion of the best of his work. Philip "Gil" Gildersleeve, W1CJD, contributed over 1500 cartoons and drawings to QST and the ARRL for almost 40 years. Gil was an avid radio amateur, devoted family man and exceptionally active in the community. For several years he worked as a radio operator aboard merchant ships and later on was News Editor of the Middletown (CT) Press. He also designed several QSL cards for clubs, and the town seal for Portland, CT.

I was lucky to find a used original printing a few years ago. I was licensed in 1973, and must say that Gil's cartoon's have always been one of the best features in the ARRL publications.

Anyway, not requiring a firmware update or that you read the manual if you can't figure it out by looking at, this is a funny book. I wrote the ARRL several times asking that they reprint this.
In fact, many of the post-1986 hams (1987 in my case) have seen Gil's cartoons in ARRL books like Tune in the World with Ham Radio, different QSL cards and online images like that little telegrapher dude.
If you like ham radio and even electronics history with a different twist, try this one. It's like looking back through a book of political cartoons.
It's telling that the cartoons are still being used today !
