Thanks to all those who are helping to get the word out about “SolderSmoke — The Book.” I put together a web page about the book:

I got a very gratifying e-mail from OM Walter. I was very pleased to hear that the technical portions of the book helped him in his license upgrade efforts: <\/span><\/p>\n

Just thought I would drop you a note to let you how much your podcasts and book have influenced my life (for better or worse). I have been listening to you podcast since last summer and have all of them on CD and have listened to them all. Living in Florida<\/span> for the past 10 years I have not been active because I thought I could not get a proper station and antenna setup here (HOA restrictions). Boy was I wrong. Late last year I bit the bullet and bought a Icom 703+ QRP rig and hooked it to my computer for digital modes. Antenna of choice? A PAC12 vertical antenna kit. The antenna is indoors sitting on a small photo tripod.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With this setup using PSK and RTTY I have over 1\/2 of the US confirmed and 8 countries including England<\/span> and Germany<\/span>. I am having a ball<\/span>. My wife calls it “Playing with Radio’s”. At least she knows where I am…<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Next steps is to get my code speed up and I have a couple of kits on order (QRP of course).<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Your book was instrumental in me ugrading from General (N2LTB) to Extra (AJ4UM) in Dec 2009. Read your book and used the ARRL study guide. Your explanations hit home and I believe made studing for the test easier. Also very entertaining.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks again for all you do for the Ham community and keep it up.<\/span><\/div>\n
