Marc Lawrence only communications were his broken ham radio transceiver and a VHF hand-held radio that was useless because of the terrain. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I got this book when I was a kid, I could not put it down! It is a great introduction into the world of HAMs, and also has a great description of the Mount Jefferson Wilderness Area, which was interesting when I later walked through the real place. Also check out Hostage In the Woods.

Amateur Radio to the rescue!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I just finished reading this book. I could not put it down! It goes into details about a search and rescue of a 19-year old lost in the mountains. He's a ham radio operator who was hiking up a mountain to take school off his mind. As the tension mounts, ham radio becomes more and more important to being the key to his survival. This book would be of interest to anyone who is even remotely interested in radio communications and amateur radio. In fact, I would recommend this book to a non-ham to get them interested in it! It is definitely worth the 5 stars I gave it.
good book for teens
