Folks - Let's take the Handbook discussion off list in the interest of 
keeping list volume under control.

Re: [Elecraft] ARRL Handbook special - Limited quantities

2011-09-27 Thread Sandy
The reasons why I don't get a "Handbook" every year are simple.

First they changed to a much harder to handle frontal size!  This adds to 
the BIG liability they insist on keeping, which I list as my second reason 
for not buying one every year:  the paper stock is much too heavy!
This makes the whole book not as handy as it used to be!

The third reason is the price has gotten astronomical!  I would break it 
into two different "sections".  One that does most of the theory and design 
work, components specs., semiconductor information, etc.  Another "section" 
that would describe "projects" (as they call it now!)  This would be small 
gadgets to complete transmitters and "do it yourself" gear and antennas.

Each volume small enough to easily carry and use, especially for us "older 
amateurs" who don't work out and develop the muscle to handle these heavy 
manuals!

Eric,

Next time I order a ARRL handbook, it will be AFTER they finally produce
it in two separate volumes.  My 5 pound 2010 version is far, far too
unwieldy to use in most cases.  I speak for many friends who stopped
ordering because it got too heavy.  I think they are finally getting the
message, according to the receptionist at ARRL.
