what books would you consider as part of a well rounded (personal) ham radio library?

So far I've got 3 older editions of the Arrl handbook and a bunck of misc ham related publications.

BTW for those that like to E-B**

I would suggest"How to Treat Cbers as Equals", and not like second class because they dont want or even care to get that "ticket"

I Recomend the following books to ALL CB'ERS and HAMS

1) THE ARRL HANDBOOK

2) The ARRL ANTENNA BOOK

3) Willam ORR Antenna Handbook

4) The RSGB Handbook

and any of the following ..there are dozens but here are a few. the VHF handbook both by the ARRL and the RSGB one. A book on home brewing called hints & kinks ( this may be out of print ) The simple ant books by the ARRL and there is one by RSGB both good and some of these are on CDROM TOO!

Additions....

For wire antenna advocates I wold att to the list presented by Bruce the folling two books, if they are still in print:

73 Dipole and Long-wire Antennas
73 Vertical, Beam, and Triangle Antennas

Both of the above are the work of Edward M Noll, W3FQJ.

Two very very nice books that show configurations you probably never thought of as well as charts and other information.
