Re: LF: RADCOM

["Johan H. Bodin" <jh.bodin@telia.com>]

Hi,

I have been an RSGB member for quite a few years now and I agree with 
most of you that "Radcomic" is becoming too much of an advertisment 
orgy! The number of full-page ad's for multi-button appliances is 
asymptotically approaching 50% of the total number of pages. My 
"threshold of pain" has been reached long ago, I am saddened by this 
development and I don't want to pay for these ad's anymore...
The swedish ham magazine QTC seems to be following the same trend. 
Technical articles are beeing replaced by mega-multi-button 
advertisments and quantity seems to go before quality... Some ad's 
disguised as "reviews" are sometimes really disturbing: 99% positive 
comments and then "Thanks to company XYZ for the loan of the plastic 
gadget..".
Think!

The future of amateur radio may already be behind us. :-(
