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.

Absolutely awful. Boring, tedious and a complete waste of time.
Please, please, please, invest in writing classes, and a lot of them. Not informative, not even mildly entertaining and certainly not worth my time or money.
I will remember the name and avoid anything by this "writer".

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.
