IARS

Two new books have just been added to the IARS club library.

• Transmitter Hunting: Radio Direction Finding Simplified
  by Joseph Moell K0OV and Thomas Curlee WB6UZZ

  The authors share their expertise and their tested and proven techniques for all areas of transmitter hunting or, as it is also called, fox-hunting or maverick hunting. You’ll get expert guidance on coping with very weak or very strong signals, equipping your vehicle, planning hunts, closing in on a transmitter, building and using noise meters for additional RDF sensitivity, building and mounting antennas, hunting techniques, tips and “secret weapons” for obtaining winning results, and more. (From the back cover)

• The VK G5RV Handbook
  by Phil Grimshaw

  This book will assist you to understand the G5RV antenna and the means by which it supports multi-band operation. The book goes beyond the original G5RV specification and introduces a variety of G5RV-based antennas for reduced space scenarios. (From the introduction)

You can see these books and many others at the next meeting of the Illawarra Amateur Radio Society on Tuesday 11 September.
