Handy Links

• I have eliminated my list of links here as it is too time consuming to keep it up to date. Instead just -
  SEARCH GOOGLE for amateur radio list of links
• Need a manual for any electronic item? Even Antique. Check out A. G. Tannenbaum. They can get just about anything!
• If they don't have it then go right to the source Howard Sams
• If antique radio is your thing you might want to browse at www.antiqueradio.com
• Also Ludwell (Lud) Sibley has a new book out called "Tube Lore" which is great for those requiring information on vacuum tubes. This and many other old radio books may be ordered from the Electric Radio Magazine website.
