You can still order the software CD which contains Volumes 1 and 2 of the UHF/Microwave Projects Manual.
It's fun! After all is said and done, and all the cries of "use them or lose them" are over, the real reason hams gravitate toward the UHF and microwave bands is interesting, fun things to do.
In 1994 the first volume of this book was published, and it continues to be in demand. Since then many things have happened. It seems that every other person is carrying an 800-MHz radio, better known as a cell phone. Wireless cable at 2 GHz continues to grow, home satellite TV reception advertisements appear on every other newspaper page, wireless LANs are running commonly throughout the microwave spectrum--to name just a few events in the non-ham world.
What does this mean to us? More and more components are becoming available, many commercial parts and sub-assemblies are starting to appear in ham VHF/UHF and microwave equipment and more and more hams are jumping into an area that they previously thought was for specialists only.
This book has one main theme--you can build it! It does not take a room full of special test equipment and machine tools to successfully assemble a high performance antenna or transverter. The authors of the projects in this book will show you how.
