Just subscribed to CQ Magazine for 3 Years

[K1DEU]

  Just subscribed to CQ Magazine for 3 Years for myself and my prospective wife.
Excellent subscription price no politics $97 for 3 years! Covers every faucet, with tiddlywinks, etccera.

In addition to graduating from Williams College when I was 13.

I set out to study more and graduated from RPI with a PHD in Linear Accelerators and some other boring fields, meeting many students and profs who were hams at W2SZ our special club station.   73   John D. Shaw  P.H.D. ars K1DEU

Don't shine us.  You stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night didn't you?

Well when I went to RPI funds were definitely lacking So I slept on a lot of floors couches and in many buildings that we not occupied after 5 PM in the winter. I had to bum food and cigarettes and the largest problem was text books. So RPI had to suddenly allow me to use 2nd hand books. Its actually quite healthy to have to be a beggar when growing up. In the winter I could not always make it 40 miles to Williamstown, Mass on the weekends and Thaw out with Mom and Dad for Williams only supported a Basketball coaches son for two graduate courses with no funds for on or off campus food or lodging of any type. Some of the richer kids got together and gave me textbooks In trade for Toutering them with subjects they could not get better than a C- grade in.

And BTW I have always been an essene, Never a Sandhremm sect     To me I was never Jewish !     audios Dr. John K1DEU

To me I am a simple person when not being attacked unfairly. Basically a Scott lander who always prefers to fraternize with Low Landers only.

CQ used to be an amateur radio magazine at one time. How strange.

  John, that "P.H.D" you placed up there at the top of this thread I suppose
  stands for "piled higher & deeper", no? 

  Oh, and the skemos all survived I might add...

CQ used to be an amateur radio magazine at one time.

That was decades ago.

They evolved directly from the old pre-WW2 west coast Radio magazine, which in turn was a 1936 consolidation of the original Radio and R/9 magazines.

I once subscribed to CQ, but let it expire as it had morphed into primarily a QuaRMtest rag.  I also subscribed to Ham Radio at the time. When HR folded and CQ bought them out, they substituted the CQ rag to continue out the remaining issues of the HR subscription. Instead of extending my CQ subscription, I was getting two of the damned things in the mail each month for while.

    Electric Radio is about the only thing left resembling the older ham radio rags. QST and CQ are mainly just vehicles to bundle up and sell you all the ads for "modern" (read Plastic) radios. I prefer CQ to QST but don't subscribe to either.

[K1DEU]

   I greatly miss Ham Radio Magazine but the majority are not very technical.  I would still like to subscribe to QEX, but only without anyone using my political "Yea"vote automatically. But it is not an option.

Ralph so I have a bunch of degrees, not honorary. So what !  they mean nothing to me nor do any titles mean squat to me. Why should I bother to waste energy and be vain ?
I think its quite normal for a kid / teenager to be curious about everything and yikes  I must still be a kid for my curiosity about anything new or different never ends.

  Thank God I'll never be perfect no matter how had I try to learn from my mistakes that others and I define.  I know you are happy by what and how often you complain !  regards little johnny, K1DEU

    John,
  
    What, me complain?  Perhaps, but at 83 pushing 84 I have a few things to
    complain about, like aches, pains and sometimes just the plain stupidity in
    what's going on at our seat of power down in DC...         But we
    won't go there on this forum.

    Just worked F6AKQ on 3710  (yes it was on AM)  with a 5 x 8 report so my
    old gear still works with the low antenna.

     Take care &  CU...
