RF Cafe Book Giveaway Drawing

See also the monthly RF Cafe T-Shirt Drawing!

Here are the books, software, etc., from which you may choose*. Some are textbooks from my college days, some are ones I purchased and no longer need, but most now are brand-new books that have been graciously provided by top-tier publishers like Artech House and Cambridge University Press.

Those marked as "CLAIMED" have already been taken by previous winners. The list will probably grow as time goes on, so keep checking back.

Send me an e-mail at rfcafe@earthlink.net and I will throw your name in the hat.

Anyone who purchases an RF Cafe software item will automatically be entered once for each item ordered.

The list will be emptied at the beginning of each drawing period, so you must re-enter if you did not win in a previous drawing.

A list of past RF Cafe Book Giveaway Drawing winners is available here.

I have never passed along contact information of any sort to anyone for any reason, so you will not suddenly be getting mail from spammers as a result of entering. I will pay shipping costs in the U.S., but otherwise winners are responsible for shipping.
