So? The ARRL had training films that had smiley faces on electrons in
cartoons of radio circuits.

If this book can get newbies up to speed so that they don't make bonehead
errors on the air, then it's a good thing. The new ham can fill in
gaps of knowledge
as he goes along later.

So?

So I came across it and wanted folks to know it wasn't a joke or a photoshop.

Never saw that one. But if it works, why not?

Agreed!

as he goes along later.

Better yet, avoid those gaps from the beginning.

There ya go, Rev. Jim!

I know why you don't acknowledge Amazon having pre-publication
advance sale advertisements for the last three weeks...Amazon
"doesn't make any profit!" :-)

Isn't that strange...Amazon still in business after all these years
of "not making any profit!"

I guess there will be a sequel soon..."Dummies For Ham Radio."

I guess for someone who didn't have ANY experience in ham radio, it might be
a good start...... One does not become an Extra Class operator overnight. Ya
gotta start somewhere.

Unfortunately the "mentoring" spirit is not like it might have been in the
past. So, the texts the new potential hams will need should have as much
information as possible in order to make them better hams.

Hello all ...... Anything that gives out good information and contributes
to one's positive knowledge is good. The dummy series books have given a
lot of people positive information ....ergo ......Now my American Lit
instructor in highschool sort of looked down on my Classic Comic version of
Moby Dick ....but the pictures were a lot better than the original ....I
understand that Herman wasn't much of an artist.

I agree 100%...don't let the title fool anyone...
The "XYZ for Dummies" books are great because they assume
the reader knows nothing and then provide guidance that
allows a reader to jump over material they do already know.
All too often attempts at beginner level books written by
experts in their field often assume far too much basic knowledge
or understanding on the part of the reader. I taught an Intro
to the Internet class a few times in our local adult ed program
and I always recommended the "dummies" books. No one ever
regretted buying one.

I've ordered a copy for my 12-YO grandson, Tanner, soon to be a General.

It would have been available last month. Amazon has had
pre-print ads for three weeks on it.

Someone else made a comment on it then, so did I.

Suddenly it's a "new" thing?

Ah, but ONLY if certain folkses mention it! So dess...!

Oink.

Clarification:

I hope that no one considered my post about this book to be
disparaging in any way. The subject line was chosen to indicate that
it is a real book, not a parody or photoshop.
