Hey!!! Thatīs a cool find, since practically just about everything in that book can be applied today. Sure, you have more modern components today, like LEDīs, ICīs, FETīs & MOSFETīs, PIN Diodes, Varactor Diodes, and transformer-less 8 Ohm Speakers, etc.. That said, little, if nothing has changed in antenna ideas in that. I could have used this book in high school, and even when I was in college. So, COOL!!!!!

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
