A Single SideBand (SSB) radio has a long range so is perfect for sending and receiving messages at sea. SSB is essential for crossing the Atlantic due to its much larger range than VHF. This book explains how SSB works, how to choose and install your set, how to operate it and get your operator's qualification. It has been completely rewritten and laid out in a new format.
