As a very new member of the group, still awaiting my NOV to transmit on 500=20=
kHz and struggling with my morse, I hesitate to take issue with the big boys=
, but here goes.  =20

Sneers against the new 'Radcom' editor and the comic, which I take to mean '=
Practical Wireless' and its associated publications are unworthy.   When I j=
oined the RSGB three years ago, I was initially disappointed with 'Radcom' w=
hich seem to have limited content and lacked style.   Under the new editor,=20=
the style has improved enormously and the contents are generally well balanc=
ed.   Of course, many of us we would like to see more constructional items a=
nd news of exciting research, but as G3WKL pointed out, this depends on thos=
e actively involved producing the necessary articles. =20

G3LDO hesitated to write up his experiences as old hat, but as a newcomer, I=
 would have welcomed his article, as I appear to be struggling along similar=
 lines.  While we wait for a clever amateur to come up with a super 600m ban=
d antenna three feet long, nailed to the end of the shack and capable of wor=
ld wide DX, those of us with 10m square gardens or less must contiue with so=
lutions similar to Peter's.

As far as PW is concerned, it has kept going over the years and won many fri=
ends, including myself.   From the earliest days to the present time it has=20=
been one of the few windows on the world of amateur radio, raising interest=20=
in old and young, something we still surely need.

Phew! I fell better to have got that off my chest.
