- I did find an issue of Popular Communications though.

- On the downside one piece in the magazine read like what a
- Nancy Drew story must read like. Just awful filler.
- On the plus side there is a worthy article on propagation.
- Most of the magazine is dedicated to scanning though and
- generally uninteresting to me.
- Then there is the Ham Discoveries. On the whole you can't
- quibble with what was written except that the guy does not
- mention having tuning capability at the antenna instead seeing
- no problem with the standard operating convention of having
- a tuner in the shack.
- I don't get the ham community at all. I know that auto-tuners
- exist for crummy antennas on automobiles and boats so why
- not antennas at home? You would think he would promote
- remote tuning of the antenna and also matching if needed.
- A major thrust of the article was about efficiency after all
- and not needing to use amplifiers.
- Same old ideas you could read in an article written decades ago.

Telamon - TYVM for this On-Topic Post. I may be 'clueless'
-but- I can and do appreciate a good On-Topic Post especially
when it has to do with Antennas. :o) ~ RHF
