Air Traffic Control. 10th edition.
Since the last edition of abc Air Traffic Control in 2005, there have been many changes in the air traffic control industry in the UK and UK-related airways. Air traffic has continued to increase rapidly resulting in more complex air traffic control systems which have to meet demand, as well as fulfilling safety and environment regulations. Covering current issues facing the air traffic control industry, the author looks at the establishment of the new London Control Centre at Swanwick in the beginning of 2008, and the problematic congestion plaguing the UK skies, particularly in the busy Southeast.
Graham Duke is an authority in the study of Air Traffic Control and in this latest volume he provides coverage of recent developments within the industry, and a glimpse into military air traffic control systems. This is the essential handbook for anyone interested in civil aviation and the operation of modern air traffic control practice.

NEW. Airwaves 2010
There have been a variety of changes to AIRWAVES since 2009. Quite a number of Military Discrete frequencies have been added, plus many existing frequencies have been reconfirmed. Further changes are likely in 2010, as it appears that the top of the Military Airband from 380 - 400 MHz will be handed over to the emergency services to increase the frequency management capability for the London Olympics. Some frequencies have already been moved out of this band recently, including three at Brize Norton. Seven London Military (East) frequencies have been moved to Scottish Military, which has been split into North and South areas and expanded. Manchester Area Control has closed and has been relocated to the Scottish Centre. All Upper Airways have been withdrawn from Shannon Control and the Oceanic Transition areas, leaving just Reporting Points, including many new ones.

NEW Civil Aircraft Markings 2010
The ever popular annual guide has once again been updated to reflect all the changes over the past year. Fully comprehensive the book also includes microlights, balloons, radio frequencies, airline flight codes and much much more. Last year saw considerable change in the aviation industry. Passenger levels continued to grow from the nadir following the terrorist attacks of 11th September 2001, but the high price of oil casts a shadow over the industry and has had a continuing impact on costs. Aviation profitability remains weak as higher fuel charges impact on finances and the continuing rise of the budget airlines threatens the margins of the flag carriers, forcing them into offering more competitive fares. Despite the uncertainties which market conditions and global politics can bring to the world of civil aviation, airlines continue to invest significantly in new aircraft and additions and deletions to their fleets are, as always, carefully recorded in the new 2009 edition of abc Civil Aircraft Markings.

Antennas/Transmission Lines/Propagation
NEW. HF ANTENNAS FOR EVERYONE
The RSGB has always published the very best antenna designs available to the radio amateurs. From the most complex to the very basic, these antennas have provided radio amateurs with much food for thought and practical designs to build. HF Antennas for Everyone draws on 90 of these RadCom and Radio Communication articles from the last forty years, providing a comprehensive collection of HF antennas, with something for everyone.
The selection in this book is a deliberate mix of the traditional and more recent designs. Sub divided into broad sections including horizontal, vertical and loop antennas, there is much variety to be found here. Looking back at the earlier decades it is amazing to see how many of the aerial giants, such as Louis Varney, G5RV have written for the RSGB. There is however much more than this. Conventional wisdom of HF antennas says you will need lots of space and money in order to put up suitable aerials. HF Antennas for Everyone shows that no matter the size of the available space you will find antenna designs that will help you get your signals in and out. Feeders are also not forgotten with a section devoted to this fascinating and often overlooked topic. But what if your local regulations prohibit the erection of antennas? That needn't get in your way, because this book even contains a section on Stealth antennas that are either essentially invisible or disguised as something quite different.
It is often said that there is nothing new in aerials, but HF Antennas for Everyone shows this isn't so. This book demonstrates a considerable number of developments and innovations from the last 20 years in particular, that show designers are starting to find innovative solutions to the age-old problems.
Whichever bands you want to work on, whatever the state of the sunspot cycle and however large or small your garden, in HF Antennas for Everyone you'll find an antenna that will get you heard.

NEW. Technical for the Terrified!
This book started out as a series of articles aimed at introducing the more technical aspects of the hobby to readers who, unnecessarily perhaps, felt that it was beyond them. It is aimed at bridging the gap between basic understanding, as gathered by students of the Intermediate and Advanced Radio Amateur courses and other – more project-based articles.
We’re indebted to Tony Nailer G4CFY for his valuable work on the series and we hope that you enjoy this first compilation of Technical For the Terrified articles. Tony’s series and this book are aimed at the less-experienced radio enthusiast and the articles are of a general nature, aimed at removing the fear of technology/techniques and theory.
Anyone wishing to delve deeper into the fascinating history of our hobby will soon find more specialist books and publications, which will expand greatly on this absorbing area of radio.
As Tony says, when it gets technical, there’s no need to panic!
