Whelp,i got the book a few days ago ''the arrl manual'' . very nice.has the question pool in back of the book..i read all the preface stuff and looked at the pool.most of the stuff dealing with actual radio seems like i can handle well.i started out very well till i got to the chapter on electronics and learned very quickly this is gonna take some time.kinda like that old starr trek show when bones says to jim,,''dam it jim,im a doctor not a brick layer''..in my case it would be ''dam it elmer,im a brick layer not a electrican''..so any ways i just keep reading the same thing over n over an by the next day i start seeing things that i didnt see the day befor..kinda like doing a crossword puzzle..the whole thing does seem like alot of overkill though.kinda like having to become a auto mechcanic befor you can get a drivers liecence.so untill, if or when i hit a brick wall i,ll keep on..if worse comes to worse i can always go back to bein splash the pirate radio operater,Rrrrrrrrrrrr..
