Amateur Radio Beginner's Guide
by J Douglas Fortune
reprinted by Lindsay Publications
Yes! You can be a hot-shot radio amateur! Well... 1940 style, anyway. Here you'll learn how to build a regenerative receiver and a crystal controlled breadboard cw transmitter that will allow you to talk to people all over the world. This is ancient technology, tube of course, but it still works. Today most hams use solid-state equipment and call it QRP (low power).
Chapters include: introduction to amateur radio, learning the code, receiver theory and construction, crystal oscillator transmitter, two-stage transmitter, three-stage transmitter, construction of modulator for three-stage transmitter, and reference.
You'll learn how to build a push-pull 6L6 audio amplifier that can be used as a modulator to turn a morse code station into an 50 watt AM radio station for voice communication. And of course, all of these plans "require" Thordarson transformers, since Thordarson published the book originally. The truth is you can use a variety of other makes and types.
The reason behind reprinting this book is that it slowly and carefully explains the theory and practice behind the operation of receivers, transmitters, and power supplies. This little book was aimed at getting raw beginners into the ham radio field so that the publisher could sell them parts!
If you're a ham, get a copy cuz you'll like it. If you're curious about electronics, this will explain a lot of the mysteries. If you've got an old amp or radio to repair, this can explain many of the basics of electronics. No, it won't answer all your questions or even half of them. No book will. But this will get you started.
Good reading. Very well illustrated. Great plans should you want to build an old time radio station (and many people do...). Get a copy! 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 softcover 155 pages
