It took about 10 minutes to read after skipping through the adverts, league tables and some fairy tales. The actual technical info and construction projects are sparse. All UK radio magazines seem to follow the same trend with too many adverts and stories and very little construction projects. If you can find some old Practical wireless or 73 magazines from 50 years ago they are better presented with useful construction ideas and ccty. Some thing along these lines would be more desirable today incorperating modern technology. Has anyone noticed there are no adverts for COMPONENTS to build the odd tech article that does appear. The marketing procedure used at present seems to favour books and pages of new equipment and gadgets and contest results. Maybe no tech articles are being submitted for publication or are they not being published. Think of all the construction going on for 500 khz transmitters, and antenna systems at present but nothing has appeared in RADCOM. Does anyone else have an opinion. Mal/G3KEV
