Can you describe in general how your books differ from Elecraft manuals?
I haven't found Elecaft manuals to be lacking and very much like how
direct and concise they are. Your books are popular, making me wonder
what you've added?

Tnx es 73!

Re: Fred's HHG vs Elecraft manuals de KE7X

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Hexagonal Phase is currently being
broadcast directly from the BBC. Only one episode left to find out what
happens to Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian, and her daughter
Random. As for Zaphod? Well, he's just this guy, you know.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03v379k/episodes/guide

The first radio show came out in the late 70s. Now, xx years later, we
are on part 6.
