Title: The ARRL handbook for the radio amateur
Description: NOTE: The title has undergone a revision (as has happened often in the past), the new title is: The "ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications".

Published annually since 1926, as the American Radio Relay League's (ARRL) flagship annual publication, ,  the "ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications" is one of the most respected and useful reference work for many Hams providing wide variety of information, such as:

Many Hams would feel their 'Shacks' were incomplete without at least one year's version in the library.

Recently, the ARRL has been including a CD with the handbook, so the entire book can be downloaded to PC, MAC, etc., and viewed, searched, printed, etc., as needed.
Subjects: Amateur radio, Electronics, Electronic circuits, Electronic circuit design, Radio circuits, Shortwave radio, Radio, Receivers and reception, Radio frequency, Telecommunication, Telecommunication systems, Transmitters and transmission, Modulation (Electronics), Radio frequency modulation, Radio detectors, Design and construction, Analog electronic systems, Amateurs' manuals, Handbooks, manuals, Electric Oscillators, Frequency synthesizers, Communication Engineering, Equipment and supplies, Manuels d'amateurs
Places: All 50 US states & possessions, other countries, the Space Station, etc.
People: Radio Amateurs here and around the world
Time periods: The “ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications” is set in the here and now; with forays into the past, and excursions into the future.
