Basic Radio - Understanding the Key Building Blocks
-- by Joel Hallas, W1ZR

FINALLY--an introduction to radio FOR EVERYONE!--what it does and how it does it.
Basic Radio reveals the key building blocks of radio: receivers; transmitters; antennas; propagation and their applications to telecommunications; radionavigation; and radiolocation. This book includes simple, build-it-yourself projects to turn theory into practice--helping reinforce key subject matter. Basic Radio brings the magic of radio to life! WHO NEEDS THIS BOOK?
Basic Radio builds upon knowledge of elementary electronic concepts as presented in ARRL’s Understanding Basic Electronics or a similar course. This book will provide the foundation in radio theory and practice necessary for anyone undertaking more advanced topics such as those presented in The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications. Also available: Understanding Basic Electronics 256 page. First edition, © 2005. Published by American Radio Relay League (ARRL).
