[NJARC] re: WWII Amateur Radio Blackout

[amagoun]

Lisa,

Most of your questions are answered in a very fine history of ham radio
operators by Kristen Haring, Ham Radio's Technical Culture (MIT Press,
2007), which is available, astonishingly enough, from Target:
www.target.com/gp/detail.html/602-9257858-2079830?asin=0262083558&afid=yahoosspplp_bmvd&lnm=0262083558|Ham_Radio's_Technical_Culture_(Inside_Technology)_:_Books&ref=tgt_adv_XSNG1060

as well as Amazon:
www.amazon.com/Radios-Technical-Culture-Inside-Technology/dp/0262083558,
which has a shorter URL and a deal combining Haring with Danny Gregory's
Hello World: A Life in Ham Radio, and links to even more discounted
copies at $12 apiece.

You may notice that the reviews at Amazon vary from QSL's positive to
particularly Patricia Allison's, which rips Professor Haring a new
orifice for the slant of her sources.  But that shouldn't stop you
necessarily from borrowing the book via interlibrary loan.

cheers,

Alex
