To some extent, as get older we may know more of the basic and intermediate= stuff which we learnt years ago from magazines. Also, it may be that in our early days of any hobby we read widely, whereas= now we have acquired specialist interests and read less of other areas. I certainly like the way the RadCom prints beginners and not-quite-beginner= s articles. And, yes, I tend to learn from them when I bother to read them. 73, Chris G4OKW =20 ----------------------- Dr Chris Trayner School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, The University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, United Kingdom Tel: +44 113 34 32053 Fax: +44 113 34 32032
