Re: Updated (and final) Version of T41 book

Sure, we'd just have to add the shipping charge to the cost of the book.

Jack, is there a way to get an autographed copy of Version 4,
since I can't make it to the FDIM conference?

All:
Al and I have just updated the
3rd
edition T41 book. We moved the calibration info from
Appendix C to
its own chapter (20). The expanded instructions and new
software make
T41 calibration much easier. We have also updated the
narrative in
numerous places and have concentrated discussions on the
V12.6
release where those changes are important.
Some of you are asking
yourself: Do I
need to buy this update. Truthfully, if you already own
the 3rd
edition, we would say no. Most of the important changes
are discussed
on the web site and photos and schematics are available
there, too.
On the other hand, this is the
last
change we will be making to this book. Al and I have been
at this for
almost 7 years now and we're getting a little burned out.
For that
reason, we are turning this site over to Oliver King,
KI3P, and Dr.
Bill Schmidt, K9HZ. Al and I will continue to be active
relative to
the T41, but will leave the details to Oliver and Bill.
If you do want the final
version of the
book, its new cover looks like this:
The book is actually available now, but
the Amazon ad will not reflect the new cover for about 10
more days.
(If you order now, it will be the new version.) If you are
attending
the FDIM conference this May (coincides with Dayton
Hamvention and
the conference hotel is about 10 miles away), Al and I
will be
selling autographed copies on Thursday night (May 15th)
at
the conference hotel starting around 8PM. We have reduced
the price
of the autographed copies from $12,500 to $40...which is a
deal and
less than the Amazon price! If you have a previous copy of
the book,
bring it along and we will be happy to sign it.
This has been a fun project
and
we want to thanks the hundreds of people have contributed
to its improvement over time. We
hope that continues long after Al and I are gone.
