Amateur Radio technology. An indispensable reference, the Handbook has been 
the "ham's bible" since 1926. The 72nd edition of the Handbook_that's right, the 
72nd edition _is completely revised. This edition presents a wealth of subjects 
ranging from analog electronic theory to transceivers, repeaters to DSP, circuit 
construction to interference, transmission lines to antennas and propagation. The 
Handbook is many things:
   * a ham radio reference guide that includes tables and charts hams need and use 
most often
   * a guide to radio theory every ham should know, including the latest digital 
modes and hundreds of explanatory and practical circuits
   * a goldmine of construction projects that will allow all hams_beginners, old-
timers and everyone in between_to build useful amateur gear for their stations
  What's new in the 1995 edition? Just about everything! Here's some of what you'll 
find:

  In the Modes chapter, you'll find an overview of the many ways hams 
communicate, from the on/off keying of Morse code to the complex but 
powerful digital techniques that will define Amateur Radio communication 
into the next century.

Practical Circuits

ARRL Radio Designer* 1.0 lets you create computerized models of audio, 
radio and electronic circuits so you can see how they work_and make them work 
better_without actually building them.  Here's just some of what you can do with 
ARRL Radio Designer*: model passive and small-signal linear circuits from 
audio to RF; predict and analyze performance of linear, small-signal active and 
passive dc, audio and RF circuitry (including amplifiers, filters, matching networks 
and power splitters and combiners); optimize circuit performance to meet goals you 
specify; display the signal level at any point in a simulated circuit; simulate 
component value variations due to temperature and tolerances with Monte Carlo 
statistical analysis; simulate circuit response to a steady-state time-domain signal 
using impulse, step, pulsed carrier or user-defined stimuli, and much more.
	ARRL Radio Designer* reports S, Y, Z, group delay and voltage 
probe parameters for n-port networks; chain (ABCD), hybrid (H), inverse hybrid (G), 
gain, voltage gain, and stability parameters for two-port networks, and more.  
Reports can be rectangular or polar graphs, or tables, displayed onscreen or 
printed on any Windows compatible printer in the colors, fonts and line weights you 
specify. Circuit entry is via a text-based circuit editor.
	ARRL Radio Designer* comes on two 3.5-inch floppy disks 
(example circuits and reports included), and includes an instruction manual 
containing how-to-use-it, tutorial and reference information.  Requires Microsoft 
Windows 3.1 or higher, 8 megabytes of RAM, and a hard disk with at least 5 
megabytes of free space; a math coprocessor is strongly recommended. For more 
information, contact ARRL. ($5 UPS shipping) #4882 $150

Night Signals, Amateur Radio performs a life-saving feat for Marc 
Lawrence, snow-bound and injured in the rugged Cascade Mountains. 
In the electrifying sequel, Hostage in the Woods, what starts out 
as a hospital Christmas party for children turns into a nightmare 
of terror for Kim Stafford, KA7SJP, and ham radio is her only 
hope. In Firewatch!,  Kim and Marc are faced with fires everywhere in 
Oregon's tinder-dry Cascade Mountains. In their latest adventure, Easy 
Target, Kim and Marc are caught in a dangerous mystery when some-
