ARRL 2014 Handbook for Radio Communications, from www.ARRL.org.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My\u00a0reference book Personal Emergency Communications<\/a> is by no means an exhaustive \u201chow to\u201d when it comes to ham radio. There are 1300-page tomes on that subject. In fact, this is the definitive Amateur radio guide: the ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications. The handbook also comes with an e-book version with an attached DVD, so you can have a copy handy on your computer just in case.<\/p>\n

Note (4\/19\/2014): If you weren’t aware, the ARRL Handbook is updated yearly. Since this was originally posted, the 2012, 2013 and 2014 editions have been published. As it turns out, the 2014 edition is the “Centennial Edition”, with 1320 pages and 5.5 lbs. of radio reference goodness, including all manner of brand new information and searchable CD-ROM\u00a0. I haven’t purchased one of the latest versions, but I’m confident that the description ARRL provides is accurate.<\/p>\n
