This book describes the origin, growth, and achievements of school broadcasting in Canada. Sections are devoted to the start of school broadcasting in each province, the establishment of national school broadcasts, and the work of the National Advisory Council on School Broadcasting. In the story, the part played by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in initiating and promoting the work of teaching by radio and in providing the facilities upon which it is based, is a significant one. The book is the first authoritative description, by the man largely responsible for its success, of an important and fruitful experiment in federal-provincial co-operation in the thorny field of education. To this co-operation is due the high standard of the school broadcasts which have earned for Canada world-wide recognition and appreciation. The book also describes the international aspects of this cooperation, particularly between Canada and Australia, Great Britain, and the United States.

Charlie Edwards spent many years in the broadcasting industry. Most of that time was in Christian radio. This booklet was first published in 1983 as the result of preachers asking questions about how they can start or improve their radio ministry. In 2013 this booklet was updated by the author with modern technology. It has once again been made available to preachers who are interested in getting the message of Christ out in their communities by radio. Charlie Edwards is certified with the Society of Broadcast Engineers as a Certified Broadcast Television, Radio, and Audio Engineer.

More than 60 years had passed before I found them. Dozens and dozens of letters written to my family during WWII- from total strangers- to tell my great-grandmother that her son had been captured and was being held as a POW. How did they know this? Well, it seems the short-wave radio had held all the answers. POWs were allowed to state their names and hometowns on the radio, and sometimes relay a short message to their families. Scores of Americans, listening to the German propaganda from so far away, heard my grandfather's information, and took it upon themselves to write to my great-grandmother. All of these dear people wanted to give my great-grandmother a measure of comfort to know her son was alive. That was only the beginning of my journey.

Propagation of Radiowaves introduces the basic concepts and mechanisms of radiowave propagation engineering in both the troposphere and ionosphere, an understanding of which is fundamental to the effective use of the radio spectrum for radiocommunication. Reflecting the wide experience of the exceptional group of authors, the contents provide a firm background to established theory and introduce the most appropriate models, methods and procedures which are of use to spectrum planners, system designers and operators in assessing the estimated performance of radio systems. The field of radio communications continues to change rapidly and the third edition of this outstanding and successful book has been fully updated to reflect the latest developments. The relevant Recommendations of ITU-R Study Group 3 are discussed and put into context. Propagation of Radiowaves, 3rd Edition is essential reading for professionals involved in the planning, design and operation of radio systems, as well as academics and postgraduate students in the field.

This is a study guide for the FCC Element 3 exam for the General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL). Each chapter contains an explanation of the material on that section of the exam and includes all of the possible test questions with the correct answers shown. Most persons taking the exam for the GROL will have some background in electronics, and some chapters will serve as a review of what you already know. But the GROL exam covers many different areas, some of which might be unfamiliar. This book will be especially helpful when you get to those areas. Basic electricity and electronics are covered. Therefore, it would be possible to pass the test simply by studying this book, even if you have no background in electronics.

Does that transmission line, which connects your antenna and transmitter, seem like a mystery to you? Or perhaps your have other questions: Just how much of the transmitter's rated output power actually gets to the antenna? How much power is consumed by the line itself? Just what is the input impedance of the antenna? Or, what is the input impedance at the transmitter end of a transmission line when the antenna is connected to its other end? Why does my tuner seem to work better on some bands than others? What is the effect of high transmission line SWR? Should I be concerned about high SWRs? What can I do about them? It is the unusual operator who has not at one time or another asked one or more of these questions. Well, now you can easily answer these questions and many others Using simple language the author of this book, a former electronic design engineer and amateur over more than 60 years, shows how to find the answers, quickly, easily and accurately. Those more technically inclined can work with the equations provided by the book; those who just want answers without all the math can use a personal computer and specially developed, easy-to-use programs from a CD and get accurate answers directly with the click of a button But there is more: the book contains many solved examples and each solution is followed by a thorough discussion. Now you can get answers while you learn about transmission lines.

For over half a century, valves (or tubes) dominated electronics. They could be found in public address systems and hearing aids, televisions and computers, communications and medical equipment, and of course in the radio set in every home. Since the advent of the transistor and the silicon chip, valves have almost completely disappeared. However, valves are still the preferred device in specialist applications, usually involving high power, including microwave ovens and some transmitters. There are hi-fi enthusiasts who argue that valve audio amplifiers give a more accurate and pleasing sound than those using semiconductors. Valves Revisited is a wide ranging book that provides the basics of how valves work through to how to build your own. There are details of the use of valves in domestic radios, test equipment and amateur transmitters. There are also detailed descriptions of the use of valves in amplifiers, receivers, power supplies, signal generators along with guides to modulation, receiver design, measurement, fault finding and much more

The first book of its kind, the 1933 Official Audio-Radio Service Manual contains all the auto-radio service data available on July 5, 1933, the original publication date of this book. It is a complete director of all automobile radio receivers and presents full installation and trouble-shooting guides. A few manufacturers are not represented because they had no information ready for release at that date. Receivers made by companies including Acme Radio, Allied Radio, Arvin, Atwaterkent; and on through Galvin, A. H. Green, Grigsby-Grunow; and on through Philco, Transformer Corp of America; and concluding with Rudolph Wurlitzer and Zenith are just a sampling of the brands covered in this single comprehensive volume. The origina manual was assembled in loose-leaf form. Its pages were 3-hole punched and came bound in a fabric covered volume. We have brought back the original material for those who still own or collect these old receivers and have been looking for comprehensive service data.
