I know there are some of us out there who are "HBR" neophytes who are just
now starting out in our adventures with this legendary receiver.  I thought
I could get by with simply following some of the printed material available
on the hbr website and various sundry information sources, however, this
book is a gem!

HHT's book goes into explicit detail about how to build this receiver and
some of the reasons why Ted and others designed things the way they are in
this receiver, such as the use of certain frequencies and circuits were used
during the design abd build phase of this radio. Even more "entertaining" is
some of the communique's and some of the remarks of some of the builders.

If I had obtained a copy earlier, I might have avoided some inane questions
I posted.  Folks, this is a good read, probably one of the few things I
can say that it was money well spent. I highly suggest getting a copy and
going through this book.  This book can help you avoid mistakes and perhaps
make your building experience much more enjoyable.  You will receive a
healthy amount of a practical RF electronics education as well.  I'm a happy
customer! Thanks.
