I wonder what it takes to put it on Kindle?
Any thoughts about doing this?

Having our moderator's kind permission, allow me to make this
unsolicited recommendation of Jeff's book. It is filled with
practical designs and Topband anecdotes. The very effective shunt-feed
for my Trylon tower is based on one of the chapters in his first
edition. In fact, I've put the second edition on my Christmas list
for this year, mainly because I'd like to have 160M RX antenna ideas
in one place. It's well worth the asking price.
Happy holidays, all.

EDITION is now available!
Hi Gang
I am pleased to be able to announce that the 2ND EDITION of Dxing on
the Edge...the Thrill of 160M! is now available for purchase.
While we had a great run with ARRL starting in 1998 (for which I am
most grateful), this second edition has been self-published using
BOOKBABY.com.
Earlier this year some UK friends of mine asked me to put out an
updated edition of the book and this summer I had the time to work
with Tim Duffy of DXE and Jay Terleski of Array Solutions to do just that.
The new book contains the original manuscript from 1998 but also
includes new and updated material regarding current XMIT antenna
solutions for Dx'ing and contesting on Topband. Additionally,, there
is a chapter specifically dedicated to Rx antennas for those with
smaller lots - as Rx on Topband is the thorniest problem to resolve if
one is space limited as we all are well aware.
Also included are current operating suggestions for snagging the
rarest of the rare ones on 160m - which means using capabilities and
techniques that did not exist in 1998.
Gone unfortunately is the CD of "Memorable Moments on 160M" as
technical limitations prevented inclusion of this in the revised addition.
A couple of things I wish to make very clear:
1) I am not necessarily trying here to sell you another book....if you
bought and enjoyed the first edition of my book, it is totally your
call if you wish to purchase the second addition. Current successful
160M Dx'ers may already be well aware of the modern antenna choices
for XMIT and RX that I talk about - so I am really aiming this book at
amateurs who have always wanted to try 160M but have demeurred due to
smallish properties or to those who would like to learn how to operate
on 160M for the first time and need to know how to become successful on
Topband.
2) I owe a huge debt of gratitude to K3LR and WX0B for providing
information on their fine 160M products - including elevation plots
and technical data on their products. I would never have been able to
release this second edition without their input and cooperation - so
thanks to them both! I should note also that I did not ask for nor
receive any remuneration whatsoever for highlighting their fine
products in the revised version. I simply consider both guys friends,
who are reputable suppliers, who market great products and they
service them well. It is that simple.....I buy and use their stuff
myself - so I am 100% comfortable recommending what they sell to buyers of
my book.
3) The price of the 2nd edition is $20.18 USD.
4) You may purchase it here:
a) From DX Engineering - (it will soon be added to the DXE website in
the books section)
b) From Array Solutions - (it will soon be added to the Array
Solutions website in the books section)
c) Directly from the publisher Bookbaby - Here is the Internet Link:
https://store.bookbaby.com/book/Dxing-On-the-Edge
The ISBN number is: 9781483586458
Thanks for taking the time to read this message. I do hope anyone who
orders the new book finds it a useful addition to their 160M operating
enjoyment going forward.
