As Managing Editor of RadCom in the 1990s (and having worked in the RadCom office as a freelance temp for several months recently) I can confirm the comments by Rik and Alan that the content is very much governed by what members send in. The Editor is always desperate for good (preferably simple) construction articles, but very few are submitted despite numerous requests. Efforts have been made to include regular construction columns, such as the excellent new one by Andy, G4JNT. A specialist interest column is included only when an individual is prepared to write it regularly. Thanks to Dave, G3YXM, LF is represented. Perhaps someone from the satellite fraternity could make a similar commitment. There was a good response when I asked for 500kHz construction projects for my book LF Today. There should be no shortage of potential contributors to RadCom on this subject. You even get paid for your troubles. Solution. Don't grumble here (waste of time). Instead write to the Editor with your views. Better still, offer to write a column or one- off construction article. Mike, G3XDV ===========
