To be a good HAM operator you need to be educated and have a full understanding of what radio is all about. This book is the best reference manual I have in my library. You cannot go wrong with anything ARRL puts out.

This book continues to be the standard reference book for wireless communication. It covers everything you could need to know from the basic knowledge to complicated equations relating to all aspects of wireless communication. Questions on antennas, circuits, fundemental operating procedures, modes of transmission/reception, and tables of componet values are all included in this one book. It also includes a CD that can loaded onto your computer. Outstanding in all aspects and at a bargin price for so much knowledge in one book. I have found that all the publications from the ARRL are wonderful reference books. Highly recommend. AK4RL

I buy one about every 10 years and while most of the information hasn't changed (laws of physics being what they are) much this is still the best of the best for RF engineering and design and mostly can be read by the "average" Ham Radio Op!!

If you don't have a copy in the shack, I would be surprised....

Already with a 2009 handbook in my library I felt a fair amount of reluctance to buy the 2010 edition. But the promise of fresher material, more information, and a nice price cut to roll the puppy out and start the buzz moved me to purchase the "ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications 2010." After reviewing the massive volume I deem the outlay as money well spent. It made a good addition to my ham shack. The 2010 handbook differs from prior yearly editions in not recycling massive amounts of the same old material or cut-and-pasting work out of QST. This 2010 edition also shows better production and editing attention than some recent ARRL publications. If you don't own a handbook, but do maintain a passion, temperament, or inclination to use amateur radio, and if you possess the cash to comfortably do so, no question about it, you should get a copy of this book. If you are a ham and have one, say no more than five years old, your level and type of involvement will be your guide. If you are into new radio and antenna designs, use new techniques, or want to upgrade your own knowledge of the once esoteric modes that rapidly become bread-and-butter in amateur radio, then I'd suggest this handbook constitutes a reasonable purchase.
