ARRL can't just 'rush to get this book reprinted' because they are NOT

The author is: Kirk A. Kleinschmidt, NT0Z. Try contacting him.

Although there can be and are exceptions, a publisher generally acquires
the copyright from the author prior to publication, so it can reprint as
it chooses. But it's also not unusual for the contract to stipulate that
the copyright revert back to the author when the publisher is no longer
interested (e.g., after the last printing they intend to do has sold out).
