As is mentioned , if you ' re interested in doing more than repeater operation , I ' d get the General Class book . But if you aren ' t looking to upgrade just yet , I ' d say get the antenna book with the intention of experimenting .

I could tell someone i read atlas shrugged and they would reject it rightfully . Economics has basis in numbers and patterns , so we ' re able to see the feedbacks of different things .
