Reference Books (and sites) for Pirate Engineers
« on: January 09, 2014, 2054 UTC »
I've seen echos of this topic in other threads.  Here are a few reference books I keep around for designing stuff

The ARRL handbook (Older versions seem to be more "hands on" and for this reason I have several editions, some dating back to the mid 30's)

The NAB Engineering handbook (lots of good stuff from a commercial perspective.  Gives you something to aim for.)

Harry's Homebrew Lots of great DIY projects and tricks, methods, et al.
