Talk:Amateur Radio Manual

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

I'm just in the process of fleshing out the contents... please feel free to dig in and add whatever you always wanted to see in a manual.

I suggest you check here: Electronics

Yup, I did...great stuff! Building links to it should be great fun. However, electronics is only part of ham radio so there is a lot of work to do yet. Things have been on hold for bathroom renovations...don't you hate it when real world stuff interferes with your hobbies?

MATERIAL TO INTEGRATE can be found at http://wikisource.org/wiki/Solomon_Isles_Amateur_Radio_Course This is originally from rtf format, but most of the formatting is wrong. If you are keen enough you can get it emailed to you in 16 pages, 1.5 Mb.

[edit] I suggest starting with all material on one page.

Instead of creating a main page with a bunch of links, why not just keep all content on one page at first. Then if/when we get to the 50kb size, then start subdividing. I can help with porting all the child pages back to the main page if that's the direction the group wants to take.

[edit] Specificity

I think that many of the chapter headings are too specific. Many of the topics can be combined fairly easily and doing so might group related and fundamental information. In particular, information on voltage, current and atoms could be put together and perhaps clarify the information. This will help give somewhat longer chapters. I will write a combined page

[edit] Table of transmission fequencies is irrelevant

The page http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Amateur_Radio_Manual/Table_of_transmission_frequencies contains long lists of broadcast transmitters in Europe, all irrelevant to Amateur Radio so I'd like to propose removing it from this book. Dodger67 10:46, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
