"The huge pieces of radio equipment mounted on the two ships performed better than expected, especially when it came to voice clarity and transmission integrity in adverse weather situations" - Peter J. Brown on Rear Admiral Donald MacMillan's expeditions on the Schooner Bowdoin.
When the great expeditions of the 20th century commenced they started carrying equipment with them that would not have been imaginable just a century before. A device capable of transmitting voice and information over the air to anyone in the World. This technology pioneered and ushered in an age of new exploration. It was an age when Man could go to the ends of the World and remain in contact with those they loved and relay back information about their mission. An age where Man went to the Moon, to the Poles, and to every end of the Earth.
This wouldn't have been possible without the invention of the radio. Although past its arguable prime, radio remains a crucial part of our daily lives, often unseen, but ever present. This book allows anyone with a passion to start understanding, above a basic level, the very secrets that alluded Man until the late 19th Century. One where information can be passed between people using mere milliwats across oceans and continents.
Let me be clear, this book will not allow you to understand everything about radio. It will leave you with some questions that can be supplemented by going back to your Technician's study book or the internet. You will no doubt start going on a tangent about something interesting you find in this book. However, this book will allow you to upgrade your Amateur Radio License to General Class and have the ability to harness the airwaves for long range voice transmissions, just like the greats have done before us.
