> ARRL� The National Association for Amateur Radio�[1] is pleased to announce
> the next generation of The ARRL Handbook.

> The ARRL Handbook is your complete guide to wireless technology,
> experimentation, practice, and development - capturing the state of radio
> science and technology in one authoritative work for nearly 100 years. Use
> its more than 1,200 pages of amateur radio know-how to delve into radio
> electronics, circuit design, digital modulation techniques, and equipment
> construction.

> The 101st edition proudly introduces a new editor, Gregory D. Lapin, Ph.D.,
> PE, N9GL. Greg and his team of subject matter experts in the community bring
> a fresh perspective and new outlook on the future of amateur radio. They have
> revised entire chapters on radio fundamentals, transmission lines, general
> safety, assembling a station, and more. Major updates to Handbook 101
> include:

>     o Information on electromagnetic analysis and inexpensive tools for
> modeling circuits, antennas, and propagation.
>     o New material on higher-level modeling of transmitters and receivers.
>     o A new section on preparing your station for emergency operations.
>     o Radio astronomy receiver and antenna design information.
>     o A new section on batteries and battery safety.
>     o A new section on NEC4 and the antenna modeling software built on it.
>     o New material on SWR meters and related tests.
>     o The latest on RF safety and compliance with FCC exposure regulations.

> Handbook 101 comes with a bonus e-Book download. The download contains a
> wealth of online content and includes the fully searchable digital edition of
> the printed book, plus expanded supplemental content, software, PC board
> templates, and other support files.

> Whether you're an experienced ham or new to the hobby, you'll find
> information you can use in The ARRL Handbook. Like Handbook editor Gregory
> Lapin, N9GL, said about the first Handbook he owned, "That edition was half
> the size of the current Handbook and I was never able to read it from cover
> to cover. I have had many editions since then and ... have never read every
> word in [it] until this year. Regardless, it has always been one of the great
> references on my bookshelf; I refer to it often... I hope you enjoy the 101st
> edition and gain lots of knowledge to help our hobby continue moving forward
> into the next century and beyond."

> The ARRL Handbook is available in a six-volume set[2] and softcover book[3]
