Tnx for the info re Paul Harden's book .
My email address is OK but using a spam remover prog ,I might have
'accidentically 'bounced your message ,sorry for that.
I am a G-QRP Club member and shall check with George , G3RJV re
availability.
Perhaps you can give me the book's ISBN number ,such that I can order in the
US if necessary and get it sent to my son who lives in California.

TIA for your advice

Best wishes Frank , GM0CSZ / KN6WH

I got mine from Kanga U.S., but I see Kanga U.K isn't selling anything,
and
they only list one book. I also suspected G-QRP as a source, but they
don't
show it on their web site. If there is a U.K. Source, George Dobbs,
G3RJV,
would know. In fact, I think I saw it at George's booth at Dayton. Bill
Kelsey at Kanga U.S. is a nice guy and easy to deal with
(http://www.bright.net/~kanga/kanga) but I suspect there is a UK source
somewhere which could be a lot easier for you.

The book is $20 U.S. so it's probably going to be 20 pounds by the time
you
get it across the pond.

Paul Harden does this wonderful artwork which makes the book a real joy.
It's such a dense collection of reference info that it really is a "must
have" for a builder. It may be a little more U.S. centric than you would
like. Although he does show drill sizes for various metric screws, his
transistor table pretty much sticks to the 2N and 2SC types. Still, it's
almost worth it for the wonderful capacitor section. And he does show all
the common toroid mixes, how to wind toroids, and he has some nice charts
of
inductance and Q for the more common mixes.
