Best ARRL Hankbook issue

In terms of technical content, such as theory, construction projects, etc., which years are generally regarded as the best of the modern (solid state) era, and which issue for the vacuum tube era? I'm interested in hearing about specifically those issues with really useful construction projects in the areas of complete homebrew receivers and transmitters, test equipment for the bench and field use and articles about RF circuit design. Thanks for your opinions. The newest one is very good, I think. This is the first time I"ve read chapters all the way through. I am re-entering ham radio after a long absence. I think the technical writing varies among chapters but on the whole is quite readaable without being "dummied down". This is more difficult to achieve than it sounds. Technical writing CAN be an art, though it seldom is. ARRL editor deserves a lot of credit. There are probably fewer homebrew projects (or at least they are simpler) than the old days. But, there seems to be more info for building than I remembeer...ordering PC boards, sources for parts, etc. I think blending them into the theory within chapters is a very good idea. That's my $.02 worth. John AB8WH |
