Yes, I do understand it may be outdated, but I found it to be interesting
and projects I could use to play with to get rolling. Not to say I'm
stopping at those! I like to build electronics stuff and those would be some
"pet" projects to get me going and even if I progress up to more
sophisticated equipment, I'll still have them for casual playing. OR maybe I
could introduce someone else into the field with my items after I've
progressed. Whatever, I did enjoy the book - for it's time. But one thing is
for sure.... I started out wanting to get into RA and worked toward it then
things happened. Now I have time to get back into it and am wanting to dive
in. Problem is, I have to sort of re-educate myself with some of the things
I've known but due to time - grew fuzzy on.
Thanks again for the help! Much appreciated.
