need QST archives from beginning to transistors era
 

Hi !

I'm a beginning homebuilder from Russia and i'm eager for information
on ancient regenerative recievers. I heard what somethere CD archives
of QST magazine do exist. Can one of you put them online for a friend
of mine with unlimited download capability (i'm starved on bytes) ?

I tried library but it has very few and late of them, and scanning is
expensive.

Please reply to snaga {ear sign} inbox.ru , as i may be unable to read
the groups.

Sounds great! Who wants to put them all online. I'm sure the ARRL
wouldn't mind ;-p

Ask the library if they have an old copy of the ARRL Mobile Manual. It
has a number of portable regenerative receiver designs that are pretty
good.

Also, don't forget Soviet Radioteknika. They did some fun regen receiver
designs well into the seventies, even some solid state ones.

I counted 5 or 6 how to build articles at the ARRL site.

Or, go to Google and enter "How to build a regenerative receiver" and
there are many more articles.

In addition, my 1958 ARRL Handbook also has an article on a one-tube
regenerative receiver. I imagine you can find that in any of the older
handbooks that are on Ebay for a couple of dollars.

Otherwise, the guy can buy the QST CDs that are, I believe, $39.95 per
decade, going back to 1915 or so.

Are these CDs readable with non-proprietary software?

73, Eddi ._._.

I'm not sure. This is what the ARRL web site says:

QST View CD-ROM 1915-2004
-- Back issues of QST in convenient, space-saving CD-ROM format. Each
page—all the ads, articles, columns and covers—has been scanned to
provide a black-and-white image that can be read on your computer
screen or be printed. Easy-to-use software included on the CD allows
you to:

* Search for articles by title and author.
* Select specific year and issue.
* Browse individual articles or columns.

The reader software is on the CD.

I have bought them all and newer ones have color.
The scanned pages are in TIF format.
The added software provides some search ability but does not
search for specific text by looking at all the scanned pages.
I would suspect the search part of the programs only have
indexes to article titles authors etc. It can only provide
search results for what has been programmed into that
search database. I have not been disappointed by the
CD with one exception. You can not copy/move all
the CD's to one hard drive on the computer and have a
look or search. SOOOO you are left with LOADING
and searching one CD at a time. The search tool database
does accumulate all the files so you can use the search tool
that is provided. But still a pain to load and look one at a time.
Something to do between band closings eh.

I think the common viewing tool is Adobe... one version or
another from the ARRL disks.

The TIF files and Folders are sort of date coded names so
you can just browse through them with any viewer that
will read TIF files. For example the folder with a file in
it named 7403001 would be the 1974 March cover page.
FWI 75 cents cover price then LOL

My Windows XP picture viewer displays them ok.

The individual TIF files can be copied to the hard drive
so you can get a group of some series of articles
together and view and work from one folder for
convenience.

Sorry not taking any orders.
The few folks I have helped with an article didn't even bother to
send a thank you email. blnt

Pay some$$$ for CDs to the ARRL and support the hobby.
Numbers count.

If you are willing to edit the Windows registry you CAN do this.
Works fine on my computer.

Of course, QST didn't have color until after they went to the larger
size in 1976, though I can't remember if the color came immediately with
the change.

There were a few exceptions, where they'd add a single color to a cover
photo for special occasions or reasons.

OK I haven't got the window skills for fooling around with much on my
computer.
I started in the computers building my own back in the Motorola 6800 micro
days.
Since all the years passed I fell into more of just a user. Was a lot of
work to try
and keep current over the years and eventually stopped.
Anyhow, Thanks I may give it a try.
It sure would make wading through the CD's easier.
Hmmm... that's not like a wedding registry huh. LOL

Any clue as to hard drive space used for all the CD's?... might have to put
them on
the desktop. Notebook I use might run me dry on space.

I just had to go and buy an OLD memory stick for my 2 year old Sony GRZ530
notebook.
The dip-stick that wrote an update patch to read the new "memory stick Pro"
made
the patch REQUIRE the old memory stick to upgrade the computer. I bought a
new camera so I could be current with the storage. I had an older Sony
camera
that used 3.5 floppy and NO floppy in the Sony GRZ530. They could have
wrote the patch to use a 20 cent CD-R but instead forced me to find and buy
a $40 old piece of memory I'll never use again. Maybe I can sell it to
another
owner of a GRZ530 in a few years and make a profit.
They quit making it and I spent several store trips to find one. UGH!!
What a hose job. Not related to boatanchors I guess but that's why some
folks
are migrating back to the boatanchors eh. Fewer things to break, fewer
things to fix.
Hmmm... now where were my 2m crystals at?
