It is Volume 4 of the "Wireless for the Warrior" series by Louis Meulstee and Rudolf Staritz, and it is an encyclopedia of clandestine radios from all over the world. Over 230 sets are covered, with 850 pictures - 692 pages in all. I contributed much of the info for the U.S. sets. NOTE: I do NOT have a financial interest in sales of the book, although I certainly feel it is a great reference, and by far the biggest/best book ever published on this topic.

An Introduction This document explores the concepts involved in radio broadcasting relevant to the community radio operator on VHF FM. We will go a step by step tour of a typical VHF FM transmitter system starting with the output from the tape recorder or mixer, and finishing with a brief discussion of aerials. At each stage we will discuss the pros and cons of various alternatives, provide additional background information and introduce the use of test equipment. What we are trying to is get information from one place to lots of others.
VHF Community Radio Electronics - An Introduction
The International Morse Code is made up of a series of what were incorrectly called dots and dashes, for many, many years. The problem with equating those symbols to and calling them dots and dashes is the fact that you do not actually send or receive those dots or dashes on the air, but rather the sound equivalency of dots, "dits", and dashes, "dahs". Actually the ending "t" or the "h" of those sounds is not included in the written representation of those sounds, unless it is the last dit or dah in that letter, number or punctuation.
