So? The ARRL had training films that had smiley faces on electrons in
cartoons of radio circuits.

If this book can get newbies up to speed so that they don't make bonehead
errors on the air, then it's a good thing. The new ham can fill in
gaps of knowledge
as he goes along later.

Hello all ...... Anything that gives out good information and contributes
to one's positive knowledge is good. The dummy series books have given a
lot of people positive information ....ergo ......Now my American Lit
instructor in highschool sort of looked down on my Classic Comic version of
Moby Dick ....but the pictures were a lot better than the original ....I
understand that Herman wasn't much of an artist.

I agree 100%...don't let the title fool anyone...
The "XYZ for Dummies" books are great because they assume
the reader knows nothing and then provide guidance that
allows a reader to jump over material they do already know.
All too often attempts at beginner level books written by
experts in their field often assume far too much basic knowledge
or understanding on the part of the reader. I taught an Intro
to the Internet class a few times in our local adult ed program
and I always recommended the "dummies" books. No one ever
regretted buying one.

That is a NCI / W5YI approved publication.

NCI has NOT been involved in the approval or disapproval
of anyone's book.

As for the possibility that the book is a W5YI pub, well so
what does that mean?

It would have been available last month. Amazon has had
pre-print ads for three weeks on it.

Someone else made a comment on it then, so did I.

Suddenly it's a "new" thing?

Ah, but ONLY if certain folkses mention it! So dess...!

Oink.

So?


So I came across it and wanted folks to know it wasn't a joke or a photoshop.

The ARRL had training films that had smiley faces on electrons in
cartoons of radio circuits.


Never saw that one. But if it works, why not?

If this book can get newbies up to speed so that they don't make bonehead

Agreed!

The new ham can fill in
gaps of knowledge
as he goes along later.


Better yet, avoid those gaps from the beginning.
