The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications is a reference
guide for amateur radio operators, also known as hams. It is published by the
American Radio Relay League (ARRL), which is the national association for
amateur radio in the United States. The Handbook has been published annually
since 1926 and is considered one of the most comprehensive and widely used
resources for ham radio operators.
The first edition of the Handbook was published in 1926 and
was a simple, 32-page booklet that provided basic information on the theory and
operation of amateur radio equipment. Over the years, the Handbook has grown in
size and scope, and today it is a comprehensive guide that covers a wide range
of topics, including theory, circuit design, construction, operation, and
troubleshooting of ham radio equipment.
In the early years, the Handbook focused mainly on the
technical aspects of amateur radio, such as circuit design and construction.
However, as the hobby evolved, the Handbook also began to include information
on regulations, operating procedures, and emergency communications.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the Handbook began to include more information on solid-state electronics and computer-controlled equipment, reflecting the changes that were taking place in the field of amateur radio.
In recent years, the Handbook has continued to evolve and
adapt to the changing needs of the amateur radio community. It now includes
information on digital modes, software-defined radio, and other newer
technologies.
The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications is considered an
essential resource for amateur radio operators of all levels, from beginners to
experienced hams. It is widely used by radio clubs, schools, and individuals
around the world.
