This book provides an introduction to modern methods of discrete-time and discrete-frequency signal analysis and design, which are rapidly becoming an important approach in electronics projects. It helps experimenters, radio engineers and students to move beyond traditional continuous-signal pencil-and-paper methods.

Designed for classroom learning as well as individual at-home study, the book employs undergraduate-level mathematics. It's written in an easy-to-follow, conversational style, with occasional re-examination and reinforcement of important basic concepts.

This book traces the life of Don Wallace, W6AM, and the early history of Amateur Radio. Don's experience with wireless in 1909 preceded government regulations or any form of licensing. Naval stations, commercial stations, ships at sea, and the first wireless experimenters all shared the same wavelengths.

Born in 1898, Don took an interest in wireless at the age of ten when the industry was just in its infancy. The timing was right for a bright and dedicated man to come along and make a lasting imprint on the wireless community. Over the years, he would be the radio operator for a President, build the best Amateur Radio station in the country, write a shortwave book, set the standards of operating achievement for many amateurs, share the podium with the most prominent amateurs of the era, build the largest and most powerful Amateur Radio station in the world, and be the role model for many of the young men entering the hobby. It was the latter that he enjoyed the most. Don held an annual open house and would go to great lengths to encourage newcomers to the hobby.

Although always a hobby to Don, many of the leaders of the radio industry came to know and respect him. The word always used to describe Don and his attitude toward the wireless hobby was "enthusiasm."

This publication is more than a book of illustrations. It is a tribute to a legend, a man who created more than 1500 pieces of art for QST. The work of Philip "Gil" Gildersleeve, W1CJD, became a tradition. In tribute to this talented, creative and devoted artist and ham, the ARRL presents in this book a reprint of a portion of the best of his work.

About the Artist:
Philip "Gil" Gildersleeve, W1CJD, contributed over 1500 cartoons and drawings to QST and the ARRL for almost 40 years. Gil was an avid radio amateur, devoted family man and exceptionally active in the community. For several years he worked as a radio operator aboard merchant ships and later on was News Editor of the Middletown (CT) Press. Although Gil became a silent key in 1966 his characters live on. Still today, his conceptions remain alive in the minds of both old-timers and newcomers to Amateur Radio.

"This first edition collection of Gil's cartoons was introduced in 1986."
