(1)This book provides a thorough introduction for radio amateurs who are interested in the traditional area of short wave listening. It explains exactly what short wave listening is, how radio waves travel, what equipment is needed to receive a signal, how to set up and run a short wave listening station and importantly, how to obtain an amateur radio licence.
Each topic covered is clearly explained and further illustrated by the accompanying diagrams. Thus a description of wave propagation by all modes relevant to the HF bands is given in the chapter on radio waves. Likewise various types of transmission which can be encountered on the short wave are detailed - morse, amplitude modulation, single sideband, frequency modulation, data modes including RTTY, packet and amtor etc. The practicalities of short wave listening are discussed, from the buying of a new or second hand radio and the making and erecting of an aerial to selecting ancillary equipment to enhance the operation of receivers and aerials.
Ian Poole is an electronic engineer currently involved in project management for the development of a large radio system. He is a regular contributor to Electronics - The Maplin Magazine, Everyday with Practical Electronics and Practical Wireless. He has also written several books on amateur radio.

(1)In the spirit of the popular QRP Classics and QRP Power published in the 1990s, More QRP Power is an anthology of articles from recent issues of QST and QEX magazines covering construction practices, transceivers, transmitters, receivers, accessories, and antennas. Here are dozens of projects and articles to help you assemble or improve a QRP station for home or travel.
QRP means radio operating with low power 5 watts or less. If you are used to operating with a 100 watt transceiver, you may wonder why anyone would do this.
Radio amateurs (hams) enjoy the magic of communicating over the air with their own equipment, without the benefit of the billions of dollars worth of infrastructure working behind the scenes to power the telephone and Internet.
QRP operators take that one step further, communicating over the air with simple equipment and antennas and only a few watts of power. They savor the satisfaction that comes with finishing a challenging radio contact. They enjoy assembling a tiny station that they can take anywhere, getting on the air with a radio the size of a paperback book and an antenna that folds up into a briefcase or knapsack.
Why not give QRP a try? And if you are already addicted, why not try a new antenna or accessory? Whether you want to build a complete station from scratch or just an item or two to use with your kit or commercial QRP transceiver, you'll find it here.
