If you're familiar with HAM, perhaps Software Defined Radio (SDR) approach is better for you.

There's another relatively unknown wireless communication book by Qasim Chaudhari namely Wireless Communications From the Ground Up: An SDR Perspective, also in the 2nd edition.

There are even GNU Radio experiments course available that you can try alongside the book.

According to the author, the course also covers the fundamental concepts of DSP and SDR without using any mathematics.
