304-TH - Workin' it

Screw it !
Publish an AM oriented mag with a MAD magazine twist.  Tongue
Floor em' with medium and high order home brew articles, throw back buzzard projects, "dangerous" HV mods, personnel stories/interviews, swap meet Frankenstein projects, exotic antenna projects with solid theory follow ups, etc, etc,.
Mix well with off the wall humor and "tasteful" dirty jokes.....
I'd shell out $6 or $7 bucks a month for THAT!

Sounds like you enjoyed 73 mag in the 70s. I remember one issue of 73 where they did a parody of Mad.

If you want AM and old buzzard projects, then you got ER.

Do you know the Dave who designed this thing?  If so, tell him that's a clever design and very clever reading of the contest rules

I work at the same company with him.

Nice fellow, NM0S. He is currently working on some great HF technology.

One of my "favorite" QSTs lately was a year or so ago - the construction issue.

There was a cover photo that was just a total laugh. One of the tech editors was sitting at a bench with a sine wave on a scope.

It was like a "what is stupid in this picture"

There were two industrial linear power supplies - but the AC input  input terminals were not connected. The guy was holding and old display with a phenolic PC board about 20 years old. The probe on the scope was about to pull out of the scope and went somewhere out of the picture. There was an open box of parts that had nothing to do with anything in the photo - crimp ring terminals, HV caps , low voltage electrolytics ect .

It's pretty bad when the tech guys at the League have to make up a technical photo - and they don't seem to know how!
