Tsk, tsk. Note that Jimmie refused to capitalize the Ham
Radio magazine name. Ham Radio magazine ceased publication
in 1990. That was 15 years before now. Ham Radio had been
in continuous INDEPENDENT monthly publication for 22 years.

Longer than I've been a ham.

A 22-year run as an independent in the hobby periodical
trade is pretty good. 22 years is enough time to
conceive a child, raise them from birth, and see them
to legal adulthood. Not good enough for Dudly the Imposter,
though...not Jimmie...and, now, not iitoi. :-)


I guess "ham radio" magazine is only "defunct" when Jim needs it to be,
and a competing publishing house when it needs to be.

According to this anony-mousie "iitoi," HAM RADIO
magazine DID NOT EXIST! :-)

Poor 'iitoi' is SO wanting to FIGHT on something that he
is now wanting to argue TYPE FONTS in Cover Graphics!

I wasn't "with" HR in all 22 years but I've corresponded
enough with founding Editor in Chief Jim Fisk (SK as
W1HR, that call a club call now) to have a LOT of
letterhead and logo information on what HAM RADIO magazine
called itself. As an Associate Editor under Alf Wilson
(W6NIF) and then Rich Rosen, there's more. I've got a
fair collection in paper (with real ink). But, the
subject of TYPE FONT and Cover Design Graphics never
came up. In ordinary typewriter type we would refer to
the magazine as "Ham Radio" with others and just Ham
Radio in inter-staff correspondence. Double-quotes are
a convention to ALSO mean italics when a typewriting
thingy doesn't have easy-changing type fonts. The
compensation checks I got had the title capitalized
and the Bank of America didn't fight with me on that. :-)

Iitoi now wants to FIGHT over the subject!

Maybe there's too much peyote lying around there.

Or lack of it?

I'm not going to FIGHT over Cover Graphic Design.

That's like arguing three ways from last Tuesday on the
flashy cabinet of a radio without once bothering with
what's INSIDE it. But, if their ignorance is so much
that they don't know what's between covers, they can
feel happy about "getting someone" in a newsgroup.

Just a glance at the ARRL web page
will show books of all sorts on amateur radio for sale,
including fiction novels. The nearest competitor is CQ
Communications products through its Book Store via mail
order.

RSGB has a few offerings at Universal Electonics book section.

I have a personal preference for RSGB publications for their
graphics and layout. A distinct preference for Pat Hawker's
column in Radio Communication (membership magazine of RSGB).
Hawker's column has carried a lot of very leading-edge
techniques done in Yurp as well as UK...Peter Martinez' trials
with the Gingell polyphase R-C network for SSB mod/demod and
Martinez' PSK31.


ARRL can do no wrong. Ever.

A wise American once said, "I will renew my membership no more,
forever!"

May Jimmie dwell in the house of the Board forever.

"Bored"

I'm getting that way with these mighty morsemen motivated
fighters. Jimmie be happy as proverbial clam if he can
word-fight...and now "iitoi" (whoever it be) wants to do same.
