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.

Hi Mal, LF,
You wrote :-
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.
Perhaps the problem lies with the members & readers who should be
submitting ideas & articles to the RadCom team.
I really don't know how they select for the magazine but if they
don't know the stuff is there how can they print it ??
