Here’s the book I’ve been talking about. Four Solder-stars. Strong on history and biography, but a bit light in the Knack department. Still, strongly recommended.

Homebrew Rigs from WA7MLH
Jeff Damm, WA7MLH, was the builder of some of the rigs that appear in “Solid State Design for the Radio Amateur” His DSB/CW Direct Conversion receiver for 75 meters is in that book. Last January, Jeff put together a video that describes some of the rigs and pieces of test gear currently in his shack. Beautiful stuff.

Alan WA9IRS alerted me to this technical treasure trove. Pete Millett is an engineer who, in his spare time, scans and uploads books about electronics that are no longer under copyright. Great stuff! Thanks Alan! Thanks Pete!

Adrian Weiss, W0RSP. Very FB!
I’m reading Chapter 11 (“Milliwatts and Miles”) of the book “The History of QRP in the U.S.; 1924-1960” by Ade Weiss, W0RSP. What a gem this book is! I find it particularly inspirational that a book of this high technical level was written by someone with a PhD. in Renaissance Literature. Thanks Ade!
