From the very first page it is obvious that the writer has no clue as to sentence structure, grammar or punctuation. It is also obvious that the author is writing English that is not his native language. It would have been wonderful if he had used an editor that could have help make the content at least readable.
I shared the book with an experienced Extre ham and a relative new Technician. Each of these put the book down after reading a few pages remarking "how can you read this mess" and "it made my head hurt trying to understand". One star is for the great cover. 35 people found this helpful Helpful Report frugal31.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Gibberish Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2021 Obviously not written by a native American speaker named Jack.
Incoherent syntax. Probably couldn''t find a proof-reader that could decipher.
Self published. I didn''t read the other reviews and got snookered.
Buy a pizza instead of buying this word scramble. 3 people found this helpful Helpful Report Randle Carr1.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Awful grammar Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2020 This book must have been translated from another language, the incorrect grammar makes it almost unreadable.

Zoller1.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase You have to be kidding me Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2016 Could not even complete the introduction. This must have been translated from another language without being proofread. Or it was written by someone who did not have an even basic understanding of the English language. I''m asking for a refund. 18 people found this helpful Helpful Report Croush3.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Poorly written Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2016 The author really needed an editor.

Expert needs to be revisited.

I was expecting more from this crappy little book than what I got when I opened the pages. Firstly this book was much smaller than I expected and secondly the grammar seems to be of something that was poorly translated. The information in this book is minimal and only gives a vague outline of HAM radio. Something one would expect from a kindergarten level story time book. I also noticed that the book was manufactured by Amazon and not a more well known publisher. I do not recommend this book at all. Report MICHAEL J QUENTEL2.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Sort of a quick introduction as to how you might like amateur radio. Reviewed in Canada on April 24, 2021 It is strange--the name of the author suggests someone who would speak fluent English, but it is as though the book was written in another language and put through Google Translate into English.

I am a bit disappointed. The first part of the book goes into the usual content about how amateur radio is such a wonderful and inclusive hobby. Then there is a huge, unclearly explained part about Q codes and examples of making contact and chatting. Then briefly touches on Morse Code. And then about obtaining a set; and so on. Overall, this is not the book I was expecting. It is an ok introduction, but not as useful as I had hoped. Report Jason1.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Poorly Written Reviewed in Canada on December 30, 2021 Although well intended, the book isn’t much of a guide. It’s as if the author had his Ham Radio thoughts translated into English and forgot to edit the grammar. It’s hard to read and I have a thirsty technical aptitude. I’m disappointed. Keep searching. Report Judo-champ4.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Four Stars Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2018 Very good informative book. Report Derek2.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Cheap Copy Reviewed in Canada on July 9, 2020 This is a cheap copy. Chart in back is cutoff and not readable. Report
