A good book

This is a very good book. Besides being fun to read, you just might learn something. The appendices in the back are good. Ten-codes, slang, rules they are all covered. Even if you are an experienced radio operator, I would still get this book. Leave it on the coffee table and someone is guaranteed to read it.

GREAT learning source!

I'm a newfound lover of the CB radio, and have starting my learning process in that area to join REACT (Radio Emergency Associated Communications Teams), more specifically Oklahoma County REACT. This book has done WONDERS on helping me understand the CB radio, and although it *is* a good resource, I also feel it is of the layman sort, meaning it's a great starter, however I do not think it will quell the desires of more experienced radio operators/individuals looking to become seriously involved in the world of CB radio. But otherwise, by all means would I suggest this book to learn a little more about the CB, I can't complain!

A Great Book on CB and Radio in General. Good Historic Ref.

Great illustrations and commentary about CB on both a radio and cultural level. Will keep it handy in my 4WD as a reference book for my CB. As a result of this book, I finally figured out and fixed the mystery of my SWR problem! I always wondered why CB was such a fad before, and now I know. It's a lot of fun!

This is a GREAT book for begineers as well as experts!

I am a radio engineer who thought I knew everything there was to know about CB radio...till I read this book. Its loaded with great information and I love the illustrations. The book is divided into sections that you can use individually as a reference book or you can read the book cover to cover. I also enjoyed the explanation of "CB-lingo" - I always wondered what they were saying on there. This is a MUST buy book if you are into CB, getting into CB or just want to understand this national obsession.

Morse Code is to Hams as a Whip is to a Masochist

Truth be told, son, the day of Morse Code is done. The only reason - outside of some old outdated international agreements that only the US is currently upholding - for such asinine adherence to the code reqs can be summed up as follows:"Well, when we got *our* licenses, *we* had to learn code. Therefore, you get to suffer too!"Horse-hockey. The CB boom in the 70's put a major hole in the theory that one had to learn code in order to use any form of amateur radio. This book just so happens to collect all that proof in between two cover pages, and does so quite well! Ignore those senile Elmers, kids. For those who remember shooting skip with their footwarmers and jewelboxes and their D-104's, this book is for you.
