I bought this book for a friend who is just getting started in HF. Before presenting him with the book I read it through in an evening and added a couple of notes of my own on post-its where I felt I had something worthwhile to add. Overall, I think this is an excellent reference for anyone setting up their first HF station. Although I think it could use a few small tweaks, I know of no other book that does as good a job of quickly and concisely explaining things one needs to know without going into so much detail as to overwhelm someone just starting out.Product details

Your First Amateur Radio HF Station ARRL Inc eBook Reviews
Excellent information for the beginner. I would recommend this book for the beginning dx operator. This is a must read.
Was exactly what I was looking for with chapters on all the key areas I had questions about re setting up my first HF station. I liked the additional information on amplifiers, accessories, and software as those were not areas I had even considered.
While the information was very useful to start planning for a first HF station, it was very general. Specifics must be researched on your own. The text provides an outline for drawing up a plan to build an HF station.
Great book for new hams. Full of actionable steps to get on the air and start making QSOs.
HELPFUL start to the big world of HF communication! I have been asking so many questions of ham operators. I was wearing out my welcome. Then I found this book. It is such a great help to guide you through the many facets of HF radio (and HAM radio in general). No one else had even mentioned a book like this. I have many other books on a particular subject but this one walks you through the multiple initial areas of concern. It gives you the introduction and overview of so many subjects. It is easy to follow, profusely illustrated. I will read it and re-read several times as I accumulate the needed skills and knowledge to enter this exciting world. Thank you Steve Ford and ARRL.
Really good info I would strongly recommend it as soon as you get your Technician License so you can plan things out in advance and it also weeds out many of the questions you may have. Well written, easy to follow, and worth the money.
A good book with a lot of practical basic information. It could be a bit more technical, but it hits the fundamentals so that you can study further in more technical manual such as the ARRL Handbook and the ARRL Antenna Book. These two resources are a must have for all amateurs.
