Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gibilisco is an electronics engineer best known among librarians for his admirable Encyclopedia of Electronics (2d ed., TAB, 1990). This new encyclopedia is intended for ham radio operators and shortwave listeners. However, the work will find a wider audience, including people responsible for school media operations and college broadcasting facilities. Amateur astronomers and laypersons interested in television will also benefit. More than 1,000 entries include helpful definitions and excellent line drawings providing lucid explanations of highly technical information. Topics covered include shortwave listening; antennas and wave propagation; amplifiers, oscillators, and keying systems; power supplies and test equipment; and amateur satellite communications.

The encyclopedia is arranged alphabetically; a complete index and a system of cross-references help users make the most of it. Much of the information provided is also to be found in standard science encyclopedias. These sources, however, do not focus on the needs of laypersons interested in radio, nor do they group information on the subject as effectively. Those preparing for ham operator licenses will especially appreciate the information provided in this encyclopedia, focusing on Morse code abbreviations and slang expressions associated with ham radio operators, with a table of physical conversions included as an appendix. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Beyond Mine Expectation

By Mark on July 13, 2012

Format: Unknown Binding Verified Purchase

Mr. Gibilisco really put probably almost everything that you could want to know about amateur radio into one huge volume. What a find. I have looked for a book like this for along time. Amazon's customer service and selection of possibilities truly is awesome. No one else even comes close to what they can provide. I have never had a bad experience, or anything close to it. Thank you AMAZON.

Many references to many amateur radio related subjects. Not too cumbersome to read, but it seems to help to whet the appetite for more radio related information.
