Description

Resonances From Aether Days

A Pictorial and Technical Analysis from WWII to the Internet Age

From the birth of radio to the late 1980s, much of real life unfolded through shortwave communication. World War II demonstrated—beyond a shadow of a doubt—that effective communications equipment was a vital prerequisite for military success. In the postwar years, shortwave became the backbone on which many of the world's most critical services depended every day.

All the radio equipment—through whose cathodes, grids, plates, and transistors so much of human history has flowed—is an exceptional subject of study and enjoyment for those of us who are passionate about vintage electronics. In this book, which begins in the aftermath of World War II, you’ll find a rich collection of information: descriptions, tips, technical notes, photos, and schematics that will be valuable for anyone interested in restoring—or simply learning about—these extraordinary witnesses to one of the most remarkable eras in technological history.

My hope is that these pages will help preserve this vast treasure of knowledge, innovation, and history—a heritage that far transcends the purely technical.

    Vintage Radio Equipment

    Das Buch vermittelt eine Unmenge von Informationen über die vorgestellten Empfängertypen und gestattet dabei eine hochinteressante Zeitreise. Besonders hervorzuheben sind dabei die vielen detaillierten Abbildungen. Gefreut hat mich auch die Vorstellung einiger Geräte von Herstellern aus Deutschland.

    Darf ich dennoch auf einen Fehler hinweisen, den ich schon beim ersten Blättern auf Seite 400 feststellen konnte: Für die Zwischenfrequenz ( IF ) des Empfängers E309 wird an zwei Textstellen der Wert "1.236 kHz" angegeben, wobei hier stattdessen "1.236 MHz" stehen müsste. Das nur als kleiner Hinweis.
    Mit freundlichen Grüssen
