Magazine texts
Reading this thread https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...d.php?p=705890 reminded me of a series of articles from Practical Wireless back in 1968 for the PW Clubman Project. One version of which was for direction finding. An Internet search for PW 1968 took me to this very interesting site. https://archive.org/stream/Practical...8July_djvu.txt
It may be of interest for researching old magazine articles. Al

Re: Magazine texts
Looking at that copy of PW is so spooky. I remember some of the stuff in there like I read it yesterday (how to join two pieces of wire with a match and some solder tape!) yet other stuff seems like it is completely off another planet.
How nice to see my Saturday-job employer in Leeds, "Globe Scientific" advertising in there. It is an edition of PW that showed what became an unfortunate trend; a tendency to run articles (often, multi-part) on building electronic organs and sundry "gizmos". My interest was in wireless and that seemed to become a secondary feature rather than the primary, and I defected to buying SWM instead of PW. It will be interesting to see just how many similar mags that archive has scanned. Good link. B

Re: Magazine texts
Why settle for the text version when you can download the .pdf file and read the whole magazine as if it was in print?
