Hi all,

I don't read RADCOM, but in Germany, we basicly have the same problem. I would
love to see more projects etc. in the ham radio magazines, but when talking to
the publishers, there usually is one basic problem: nobody submits technical
articles. (anyway, they have lots of non-technical articles on stock)

I can only guess but these might be some of the reasons:

- Hams who are good technicians often are no good writers or simply not
interested in writing.
- Writing a good article makes A LOT of work - you could easily do another
project rather than write an article. (and your fellow hams might call you at
10 p.m. or 6 a.m. if their kit is not working...)
- People who'd consider submitting an article are to shy to do so - since they
think they are excellent enough for doing so.

You probably can ask every ham radio magazine and offer to submit a 
_technical_
article, and they will love you for that. Might be the same in Germany than in
UK.
