Of course. And cartoons. We need a latter-day "Old Man" I think you qualify. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I miss the old Editors & Engineers "Radio Handbook" complied by W6SAI. Now that was a book. He only updated it when needed -- every few years at most.
Then Sams & Co. published the last one and W6SAI went SK. Quoth the raven . . . "Nevermore."
That's a good one to emulate today. ARRL just crams too much into one volume, and pumps them out year after year, making only minute changes.
If I were doing the job -- I'd do a loose-leaf version, and publishing chapters as separate books that could be collected as needed. Would be a heckuva lot easier on the wallet, and if you want the whole enchilada, sell them with a nice binder to boot.

Is there a draft in here?
Wouldn't it have been a bit more appropriate to have asked individuals if they would like to participate in a member -initiated project?

Other than "A dark and stormy Knight(kit) scenario," I'm not sure I'd want to contribute to any book that would have me as a contributor... http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
But let's see if something comes of this. It's a noble thought, I will grant you that, but me thinks more of a project than you can imagine. Or even imagine to imagine.

It was a dark and stormy...
Knight Kit, his brother Heath and sister Dyna heard what sounded like shattering glass.
"QRU?" asked Knight of his siblings.
"You bet we are!" they answered in unison. And SKN was on...

You need to be writing installments for "Ladderline to Eternity" http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

This is an old one, but still a cute story...
# # # # # # # # # # # # # WANTED
A reward of 500 microfarads is offered for information leading to the arrestor of Hop-a-Long Capacity. #This unrectified criminal escaped from a weston primary cell where he had been clamped in ions awaiting the gauss chamber.
He is charged with the induction of an 18 turn coil named Milli Henry who was found choked and robbed of valuable joules. #He is armed with a carbon rod and is a potential killer. #Capacity is also charged with driving a DC motor over a wheatstone bridge and refusing to let the bandpass.
He was last seen riding a kilocylce and playing a harmonic he stole from Eddy Current.
If encountered he may offer series resistance. #The electromotive force spent the night searching for him in a magnetic field, where he had gone to earth. #They had no success and believe he may have returned ohm via a short circuit.

Then there's the "adult" rated version of the story starring Micro Volt and Milli Amp riding their megacycles over the wheatstone bridge.
I'm sorry I can't go further, but it gets interesting after the cycle ride!

We all know that story. Whenever MicroVolt get's on top of Milli Amp you're gonna get some resistance. There's no real surprise, we know watt happens when they multiply.
