[Milsurplus] MC-385-A & CQ mags

[telegrapher at q.com]

What a coincidence.  I pulled a bunch of CQ mags in from the shed to see what i had.  In one of the 1951 issues was an ad by ESSE that offered them for $.19.  A few pages later another outfit had them for $.25.  What a ripoff!  They gave a description of what it was used for and what the impedance's were that it interfaced to.  

Lotta cheap stuff in those ads.   For one a BC-306 antenna box for $2.95.  Good thing i wasn't in any sort of financial position to buy that stuff. But, boy would i like to have been able to buy that stuff.  To young to know anything about it.  

I pulled one box out of the shed that said CQ magazines on it.  What i had in there was 1941 all but Nov., 1955, complete year and 1956 all issues but Feb.  Since the years were tied into a bundle i have to think that those all the issues i have for those years.

But wait!  There will be more boxes surfacing in the near future.  50 cents an issue of $5 per year. seems reasonable.  I can probably cram all 3 years into a Mid sized USPS Medium Flat rate box for $11,  Less than that i would have to box or put in a manila envelope if your wanting only a issue or two.
