Yep. It's the annual "vintage radio" issue. Says so right on the cover.
Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!! You make my point exactly!!!
I'm very much an ARRL supporter, but an "Annual Vintage Radio Issue" is a
pathetic statement about the technical leadership out of 225 Main Street.
I can't agree. I enjoy articles about vintage rigs. There is every
indication that there are many others who enjoy them. I collect vintage
rigs and restore them.
Sorta validates LHA's persistent jeremiads about how backward amateurs seem
to him. How much nicer if there were an "Annual Future Systems Issue".
While I enjoy my vintage equipment, I don't use it every day. I run a
Ten-Tec Orion. It is something from the present which was very much the
future only a few short months ago. Len likes to prattle about ancient
morse code yet most of us don't stick with only one mode. I discount
Len's rants heavily since he isn't really involved and has little idea
what radio amateurs are doing.
