[HBR] RE: [AMRadio] Book WANTED...!

I purchased this book earlier this year and have really enjoyed it. I am =
about 90% through it. The only negative comment that I will make is that =
some references in the book are not accurate. At one point, the author =
talks about a photo of Don's RME receiving stuff on the inside front =
cover of December 1957 QST. I looked for this and couldn't find it. I =
checked several years in both directions and I looked for RME in the =
advertiser's index and found nothing. So maybe it was CQ?=20

The other error I noticed is that the author talks about the Berlin =
Airlift taking place in 1961--oops--it was actually 1948.=20

But these are small nits. Any ham will enjoy this book. It would make a =
great Christmas gift for a ham friend who likes to read.

Last I checked, Ham Radio Outlet was still carrying this.

Hi Everyone,

As Christmas fast approaches, all this AWA 1929 QSO Party stuff & =
homebrew
retro-superhets has me waxing for a nostalgic, good read over the coming
holidays...

To this end, I wonder if anyone might have a good, reasonably-priced =
copy of
Jan Perkins' book on DON WALLACE (W6AM) available for sale at this =
time...?

>From what I've heard, 20's radio buffs like yours truly can absolutely
WALLOW in the stuff of Jan's treatise---what better way to spend =
Christmas
holidays than to curl up alongside the wood-burning stuff & indulge in =
one's
passions like that...?!

Well...there probably ARE better ways, I'll agree!...but I'd sure like a
copy of this book for my library just the same, IF I can find one.

Thanks, all...!   :>)
