[Boatanchors] magazine collection

[Bob Groh]

A couple of years ago, I got rid of a bunch (dating all the way back to the
1917 or so)  but it took a lot of effort!  As Ray pointed out, there are
some (e.g. Radio) that have some the value.  The rest not so much.  I stilt
have one or two of the old one's which I kept for nostalgia but all the
rest went - to hams (a box at a time - they paid the postage which is
substantial and, no, magazines don't qualify for the media rate) - some
went to the library (20 or so at a time - they have a 'free' table) but
some just went in the trash.  A bit of a PITA but I had 12 or so large
boxes and they needed to go.  Now I just subscribe to QST and every year or
so, I purge them and the older ones go to the library.

As you mentioned, having them on CD or DVD is much more reasonable.  Good
luck!
