ARRL's VHF Digital Handbook
-- by Steve Ford, WB8IMY

Today's Amateur Radio operators are using digital radio applications for fun, technical achievement, and public service. And it’s no wonder. Getting started often requires little more than a VHF radio and a computer.

Without complicated “owners manual” jargon—ARRL’s VHF Digital Handbook presents the material through a unique how-to approach and friendly, conversational style. Readers will understand how to setup and operate their equipment and software, and make the best use of their VHF digital station.

Also available: ARRL's HF Digital Handbook

ARRL's VHF/UHF Antenna Classics
-- Build your own portable, mobile and fixed antenna designs--

ARRL's VHF/UHF Antenna Classics includes antenna project articles gathered from the 1983 to 2003 issues of QST. Designs include ground planes, J-poles, mobile antennas, Yagis and more. Authors include well-known antenna designers such as L. B. Cebik, W4RNL, Dick Stroud, W9SR and Steve Powlishen, K1FO.

VHF and UHF antennas are among the smallest and often easiest antennas to build. Many of the projects included in this book require inexpensive parts which you can find at most hardware stores. Build a better antenna for your hand-held radio. Construct a 2-meter Yagi that will rival similar commercial antennas. Build a dual-band vertical for 146 and 445-MHz. The results will be rewarding!
