[QCWA] Reading Recommendation

[Ron W8RJL]

In respons to Val Erwin's recommendation I purchased "Thunderstruck" by Erik 
Larson on eBay for only $4 postage paid. There are many copies of 
Thunderstruck available on eBay so go get 'em. I can't wait for my book to 
arrive. Thanks Val for the tip.

> I just completed reading a very interesting book entitled "Thunderstruck"

> Guglielmo Marconi of Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. fame, John Fleming, 
> Heinrich Hertz, and Nikola Tesla, to name a few with that of Dr. Hawley 
> Crippen, a famous murderer. Cripen was the first criminal to be captured 
> with the aid of wireless communication. As you might surmise, the true

> The book is historically accurate in its treatment of?how Marconi became a 
> major "mover and shaker" of his day accompanied by?the obstacles that go 
> with success. Marconi was indeed a shrewd business man. I found it 
> particularly interesting in how the author went into great detail in how a 
> Marconi Wireless station was built and the associated massive antennas 
> involved.

> Any ham that is a reader will enjoy this book. I found that once I started

> In concluding, I should point out that I have no pecuniary interest in the
