Quite Funny, and well worth a read! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just received a copy from, Jerry (VE6CNU) as I was having a hard time getting a copy from the publisher, so thanks for the help anyway Jerry. That aside, the book is quite funny, full of stupid things, funny jokes, often dark humour that some may not get, and some of the jokes are just so sad that you cant help but laugh, basically a really good light-hearted look at amateur radio, the problem with this book is that it reminds me of so many people. worth getting a copy, you may not learn much from it and it doesn't have any antenna designs inside of it, but it really is worth the shelve space, and if no shelf space left, then throw away that copy of the ARRL Handbook to make space for it, its far more enjoyable than that book hi hi...

This review from Nick at Ontario Swap Shop Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
From the Ontario Swap Shop (Nick):

"A very funny MUST READ full of traditional style HAM HUMOUR. It is targeted for older hams that can relate to all of what our hobby is today, and was really all about in the past. I think the newer hams should also enjoy it a great deal. It is VERY TASTEFUL, and a joy to read over and over again. If you remember when times were POLITE AND A LOT DIFFERENT, and all of us enjoyed the very funny {AND SOMETIMES CORNY} humour from early commercial radio and golden age TV, this book is for you. Jerry has recreated that very same feeling using modern content. It put a big smile on my face, and it sure takes away the stress of the day. A wonderful attempt to create a nice new original addition for your HAM RADIO book collection. " GREAT JOB JERRY " DE NICK "OSS
