If you got the jack it never hurts to keep that stuff in your personal library.
I've enjoyed island life for 17 years. That's 13 years more than the Confederacy was around.

This is a good example of something to submit to the Worse Than Failure web site (www.worsethanfailure.com amongst others)
At first sight, this may appear to be a good deal, since the list price on the three books os $44.95, $44.95 & $24.95, for a total of $114.85. So $87.81 may sound like a good deal.
But... if you price the three books separately, with current Amazon discounts, they come to $30.32, $40.37 & $17.12. For a total of $87.69
Looks like Amazon lowered the price on one or more of the books (considering the discount over list, I'd say the Handbook, but that's merely a guess) and forgot to also lower the price on the package.
And that's why, boyz & girlz, it pays to compare prices!

One thing I noticed is that the Amazon offering doesn't include the CDs I would get if I ordered the handbook and antenna book directly from the ARRL. In my opinion, the CDs are worth having. This is why I hesitated in placing the order.

Hmmm. If you scroll down, to the Editorial Review, it does say that both the ARRL Handbook & Antenna Book DO include the CD's.Originally Posted by KC9MUK
I'd make printouts of those pages prior to ordering, so that if a question arises later, you have "proof" that they were supposed to be included.
