Subject: Re: [VHFcontesting] Looking for "The VHF/UHF DX Book"
This is the first I've heard about the book being completely out of print.
A while back when I bought my copy, I originally contacted the ARRL who used
to carry it. For some reason, they decided to no longer sell it. Luckily,
I was able to contact Ian and tell him. He actually didn't even know the
ARRL had dropped it from their book list which garnered a response from him
along the lines of "Bloody unbelievable!!" So evidentally, they didn't even
tell him they were dropping it. I was able to buy a book directly from him
(or maybe it was from the RSGB. I had to pay extra shipping charges for the
book to come from Europe.
Its really ashame that this book is no longer in print. It really was a
treasure trove of information for the VHF/UHF enthusiast. Glad I have my
own copy of it!!
Incidentally, I just did a search at abe.com (American Book Exchange). You
can usually find all kinds of used books there, but I saw none. I would
imagine that those who own this book will want to keep it, so used copies
may be hard to find.
