QST has gotten better, with the dropping of a lot of the contest data
and more focus on a range of articles from beginner to expert level.
I'd like to see more technical focus on modern stuff and fewer
articles on building regen receivers with tubes, though.

Yeah, Nuvistors are getting hard to get.


And even half-a**ed decent transistors can blow their performance away,
with better ones being worlds better.

My point is essentially that, IMHO, there is too much "nostalgia" and
"let's go back to the past" content in QST. I'd prefer a more bleeding
edge "let's push into the future" approach myself.

I really enjoy the old timey stories. And I'm not an old time ham,
being first licensed in fall of 1998.

And you might think of writing some articles. (forgive if you already
have, I've only read QST for a short time now)

I'd love to see cutting edge stuff, although I would prefer emphasis on
RF instead of digital.
