Summary: A Better Title: The Complete Ham Radio Operator
Review: After 20 years of Amateur Radio Operation I thought I knew how to listen to a HF band.......I still had a few things to learn. Just reading the two chapters on listening techniques provides a wealth of information. The author shows the reader how to take the pulse of a band. How to quickly determine the paths that are open and the probability of success with each station

The techniques for listening to a band are applicable to nearly all phases of HF Operation. This text clearly deserves the classic status it has obtained in the amateur community.

Summary: 307 Countries and counting
Review: After reading Bob Locher's superb text, I found a new world on the bands.
With his excellent advice, I was able to work Clipperton with 80 watts to a vertical on 15 meters CW!
If you're interested in DXing, buy this book. It will put more countries in your log than your amp will.
I've gotten 307 countries worked (306 confirmed), and am waiting for A35RE for #307.
