Thnak you, Len!

The parts are recycled but the designs are new and unique.

It seems to bother our Leonard that vacuum tubes were used.

It seems to bother our Leonard that your equipment doesn't look like

Appears to be a giant collection of QSTs to the

It seems to bother our Leonard that you have an extensive QST library.

Every issue since mid-1926, and some older ones. Also lots of other radio
magazines, books, manuals, etc. The picture shows only a small part of the
library.

(archives of the renowned historian no doubt). :-)

Who would that be?

I think he means you, Jim. Our Leonard seems to be bothered that you
have the information contained in those magazines. It gives you unfair
advantage over him.

I have the QSTs, the whole run of CQ, nearly the whole runs of EI and
Pop'tronics, the whole run of the now-defunct Ham Radio and most of HRH.
Add to that a ten-year run of ER, five years worth of Radio Amatoori
(Finnish), about ten years worth of RadComm, some miscellaneous issues
of ham mags from Japan, Germany, Denmark, Italy and Russia, ten or so
years of Radio, loads of old Radio and Radiocraft mags.

I'm sure it'll come as no surprise to Leonard that my funeral pyre will
be fueled with those magazines. I'll lie in a rack cabinet as I'm sent
off to the amateur radio valhalla. A special A-1 Op Club honor guard
will be present. The ceremony will be performed by local members of the
Royal Order of Wouff Hong.

??

The entire run of QST is available on CD-ROM, so the info is available to
anyone willing to spend the $$. (I spent a lot less on the paper mags, but they
take up more space and it's taken me decades to build up the collection).

I have the QSTs, the whole run of CQ, nearly the whole runs of EI and
Pop'tronics, the whole run of the now-defunct Ham Radio and most of HRH.
Add to that a ten-year run of ER, five years worth of Radio Amatoori
(Finnish), about ten years worth of RadComm, some miscellaneous issues
of ham mags from Japan, Germany, Denmark, Italy and Russia, ten or so
years of Radio, loads of old Radio and Radiocraft mags.

That's more extensive than my collection. But if you really want to see a radio
library, go to the AWA annex.

I'm sure it'll come as no surprise to Leonard that my funeral pyre will
be fueled with those magazines.

Please don't! Future generations will be deprived of those magazines if you
burn them. Much of my collection was saved from destruction by hams who would
not let them go to the dump or incinerator. Same for the parts.

I know an amateur (not me) who was *given* a near-complete collection of QST by
an elderly ham who knew he would soon be SK. He had saved every issue from the
post WW1 reawakening to the prsent day. He had many duplicates, too. It took 3
trips in a Citation to move them all.

I'll lie in a rack cabinet as I'm sent
off to the amateur radio valhalla. A special A-1 Op Club honor guard
will be present. The ceremony will be performed by local members of the

Sounds good to me. I want bagpipes at mine. And selected readings from the Book
of Bokonon.

'Scuse me James but what I "see" here is that Sweetums snookered you
good and it appears that you bought it. Try to get used the fact that
leopards and putzes don't change their spots and that they both quite
enjoy having evangelists for din-din.

Jack Fulmer, then W4HAV (now W4YF) was Vice President of Cincinnati
Milacron lived near me in Fort Thomas, Kentucky early in '68. He had a
complete run of QST but his late Uncle was also a ham and left Jack his
magazine. Jack gave me the complete run of 1934-1958. That formed the
core of my QST collection. Jack was the guy, who with Jean Shepherd
started the short-lived first VW dealership in the Cincinnati area a few
years after the war.

Cool!

Mine started out in 1968 with my subscription. Got some 50s and 60s copies when
a local radio club got rid of their small library. Then various hamfests and
such. The ham who got the collection detailed above had some duplicates and
gave them to me. A few copies even came from eBay. Recently, a local ham gave
me his old library, which was in better shape than some of mine. Etc.

Along the way I accumulated a lot of dupes, which were then sold off. All part
of the collecting game.

Jack was the guy, who with Jean Shepherd

K2ORS

started the short-lived first VW dealership in the Cincinnati area a few
years after the war.

That one belongs in the "Radio Stories" thread.
