September 2003, page 38 : how to replace
a pilot lamp by a LED and a resistor.
The high technical level of this article
is for CW coders only.

Page 31 is not bad too, the figure 4-A
shows a very sophisticated interface
including 2 resistors, 2 banana plug
sockets and 2 BNC plugs. This article
is reserved for EXTRA operators only.

I am relieved and enlightened that QST is showing such a leap of
technical understanding of the state of the art of electronics!

I have to agree with you on that one Len over 21. QST and technology parted
company years ago. Heck, a new magazine started up because of it, called
Ham Radio. Unfortunatly they also folded.

You do of course know that the ARRL also publishes what they call a
technical magazine, don't ya? I don't even bother looking at it.

I sure have. Sometime take a peek at QEX and count up the number of
articles written by these "technical genius" nocodes vs. the number of
articles written by coded Extras.

I think
they should have left technical articles in QST as before.

Has pros 'n cons. Over the course of a year there's a lot more total
technical meat in the combination of QST and QEX than there ever was
in QST alone.

But then the league has done a lot of things that I don't like.
