4.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Book, June 8, 2009
By 
William Corsair "Will" (Leavenworth County, KS USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ARRL's Low Power Communication: The Art and Science of Qrp (Paperback)
I'm a new General Class who's interested in QRP. This book was a great introduction. Arland obviously knows his stuff (many years in the U.S. Air Force as a comm/signals guy), and his writing style is very engaging.

Arland offers lots of general information as well as detail, particularly when it comes to what he considers the two most important parts of QRP: antennas and propagation. He has separate chapters devoted to each, and he details some home-brew methods for various kinds of QRP antennas, including good photographs.

If you're interested in vintage military gear, there's quite a bit of info here as well. In addition, he gives many web site resources for further research.

Highly recommended for those (like me) who are just getting started in QRP. Now I need to save up for the Yaesu FT-817 rig (Arland's favorite).

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have bok for the QRP'er, March 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ARRL's Low Power Communication: The Art and Science of Qrp (Paperback)
I am amazed at how much information the author has provided while still making the book readable. Enough technical information to make it worthwhile but enough hands-on information to make it usable. I am constantly going back to it to for information on antennas, qrp radios, etc.

Buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a keeper but not a "Must Have", November 12, 2010
This review is from: ARRL's Low Power Communication: The Art and Science of Qrp (Paperback)
Light easy reading. It's apparent the author is well acquainted with QRP operation. The sections on propagation and vintage/military radio makes it worth the entry price alone.
