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.
Sorta validates LHA's persistent jeremiads about how backward amateurs
seem
to him. How much nicer if there were an "Annual Future Systems Issue".

Is it really too much to have one issue out of 12 address vintage radio?

No. But every issue seems to have the same theme: vintage radio.

Afterall there are some hams to whom this is of interest either practical or
just as a window into history. Although my own interest is in new radios
and how much they can pack into how little space,

Tiny radios? May I suggest the "Tuna Tin," the "Tuna Tin Two," the
all solid state "Altoids Tin?" More recently we've had the film can
antenna tuner and the batteryless "Tic-Tac" diode receiver.

the vintage issue is a
nice relaxing look at the past.
