That's
because no one sends anything in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I said in a previous
posting a few months ago to one of the many
groups (microwaves,
probably) - its positive feedback. People see
reduced technical
content, assume RC are taking the stand
deliberately, so don't bother
writing it up. Self perpetuating and
leading to instability, in this
case probably a bistable stuck in the
'0' state. Your comments, Dave,
are exactly what I was speculating
on. Did you ever phone the
editor and discuss their requirements,
and whether thay'd be
interested? I bet not.
Thanks Andy
In 2000, there was a Technical + publications sub-committee. They had
mountains of material with a year or so backlog of items that they were
interested in. A much larger pile that was not suitable. I respect your
opinions Andy as you are a regular and valued contributor, but Is your
first line speculation or fact? Is it that bad?
Actually the prolific chap currently in RadCom is Eamon EI9GQ.
Items just scattered in his column are deserving of a seperate article in
themselves. e.g. The 100 / 200W FET amplifier for 2m.
Can it be that a total absence of articles is the result of 8 years of time
passing. We're all a bit older, but we're still here. Also there are affiliated
groups with specific interests and magazines. Sprat for QRP, scatterpoint for
the microwave group. Surely things can be selected from these for wider
publication. It doesn't ring true. There are many sources that can be
trawlled for material...but that needs work, whereas cut and paste fills the
pages.
Oh well todays newspaper is tomorrows fish and chip wrapper. (sorry DX.
quaint old English practice) Saves filling up shelf space.
But, I'll give them a call and quote your first line to the
editor.
