Last time a construction article with Nuvistors in it was when?
Probably 1965 or so. Almost 40 years.


The current issue of QST has some really up-to-date-technology in it, not
quite Nuvistors, but well beyond spark.

For example, a full length article on how important the quartz crystal
industry was to winning the war. (WW-II, that is!)

Or another full length article on bringing a DX-100 AM transmitter (1955
era) up to factory spec.

Or how about the leading edge article on restoring a 1948 wooden-chassis
homebrew 2-tube transmitter?

Hang around, and pretty soon -- perhaps within the decade -- we'll get up to
Nuvistor technology!

PS: I almost forgot to mention, there's also some tantalizing information
in this issue about panoramic reception, developed in 1932 by F3HM. Maybe
it'll catch on!
