I just got the November 2006 CQ yesterday and was quite surprised to see chief editor Rich Moseson, W2VU, blast the new license manual, _Getting Started with...
Dan, The book he wrote about is "Getting Started with Ham Radio". That's not the new ARRL license manual. The new ARRL manual is called simply "Ham Radio...

Well, as someone pointed out, it's not the license manual, anyway, so I was way off base even asking the question. My bad. 73! Dan KB6NU ... CW Geek and MI...
