[AMRadio] vintage amateur radio station

[Mike Sawyer]

Maybe they ought to go back to the "Gag me with a spoon" type articles. It 
seems to me they had more success then than they do now! The 'fluff' they 
have today gags me without the spoon. There is little or no technical 
content. Back in those days, people still home-brewed equipment and lessons 
were learned and divulged from the construction.

Back in the 50's, QST was labeled as the official organ of the American
Radio Relay League Inc. Today it's labeled as the members' official
journal. I don't think QST was ever considered a technical journal even
by them. Back in the "good old days", the pages of QST had lots of fluff
and puff stuff every month and probably more then they have today. A
quick look at the November 1959 QST Table of Contents shows: "A Glimpse
of Russian Amateurs, "Circle Completed", "Recruiting More Hams", "With
the AREC", "How's DX", "Station Activities" and several other "gag me
with a spoon" type articles.
