This is an illuminating little book. It was published by the U.S. War Department on July 17, 1941, less than five months before Pearl Harbor. Far from being dated, this book contains a lot of great explanations of — as the title indicates — the fundamentals<\/u> of radio. I turned to it this morning for a little refresher on the physics of regenerative feedback. <\/b><\/div>\n
