Antisocial? Nah, just a great short intro to the hobby

This book was by far the best non-technical introduction I have seen to a world of activities in Ham Radio. It was concise, a little humorous, and explain a lot of concepts without over complicating them, and also provided many links to learn more. I expect that I'll be reading several more of Mr. Hall's books.

Interesting!

I got my HAM license a couple of years ago but really haven't done anything with it yet. This book outlines many other options I'd never heard of.
