I will certainly "third" that! I have one copy of the RSGB handbook, I forget 
which edition, but I was amazed at what I found in that one when I got it that 
was NOT in any of the ARRL Handbooks.

I also found the RSGB handbook to be better than my Bill Orr handbook of 
the same time period.

And as you say, any ARRL handbook later than 1995 has minimal useful info 
in it for our purposes as far as I'm concerned.

On the other hand, I really enjoy reading through the older handbooks. Great 
fun, and the projects are delightful.
