For those of you who want to go beyond back issues (which in itself is great fun) here is a link to a current magazine that covers all things in the monitoring world. Enjoy.

Absolutely, my pleasure, what's your bosses phone number?Lots of stuff to look through. Thanks!
Is there anything you can do about making more time available, to actually read these things?

While it's appreciated, I'm not sure we need to include magazines that people can see in any ad online and have to pay for. I don't want this thread to fill up with a bunch of links to current items requiring payment.For those of you who want to go beyond back issues (which in itself is great fun) here is a link to a current magazine that covers all things in the monitoring world.

My OMG moment in all that was seeing and being reminded of the converter I bought from Grove to allow me to hear military air band on my regular VHF air band scanner... and I had several of his scanner beams.I have a subscription to the Spectrum Monitor but to tell you the truth, it just isn't the same as those glossies in your mailbox every month. Reading through those archives sure does bring back memories. Sitting here going 'oh I used to have one of those' or 'yup, I had that radio' etc etc. I think I bought just about every scanner accessory Bob Grove had to offer. I still have his Grove TUN4 hf preamplifier/selector altho it is dormant. He used to sell an audio speaker filter accessory called the Grove SP200, basically a speaker with filter adjustments enclosed in a handsome wood cabinet. I sure wish I could find one of those on eBay one of these days, I'd jump on that thing like a duck on a junebug.

I used to subscribe to '73' back in the 70's and 80's before it got so expensive to mail magazines from the US to NZ. Wayne didn't have many kind words for the ARRL! Some great construction items - and I remember a great programme that I keyed in to my Commodore 64 that worked out bearings for a beam given the callsign of the other guy, told you his location and the local time and I think it gave some propagation info too.

Yeah, to me at that time, I thought the SP200 was the ultimate dedicated shortwave speaker. I had one for over 10 years that I used with a Drake R8. That speaker sounds as good as any Bose I've heard that are the same size and specs. When I sold the Drake, the guy was adamant, he wouldn't buy the R8 w/out the SP200 so I threw it in there, something done in the heat of a move that was a later regret. That is one cool speaker. Ahhh...thanks for the memories...
I wouldn't stress, one of those videos is someone demo'ing it for an ebay ad so set an alert on ebay to notify you when one pops up.
I also liked the early '73 as well as some of Wayne's other publications. Plenty of variety for all levels of interest. Also amusing was Wayne's continued needling of the ARRL.Yes, early on 73 was approx 175 pages and eventually dwindled down to 68 pages
A number of S9 issues can be found at S9 CB RADIO MAGAZINE INDEX and Ham Radio Horizons Magazine : Free Texts : Free Download, Borrow and Streaming : Internet Archive has most all Ham Radio Horizons. I grabbed PDFs of most of my w2xq.com Bibliography writings from the websites given in this thread. HTH.Great posts about past magazines. How about S9 magazine for CB'ers? That was another of Tom Kneitel's publications, those were great too. I subscribed to that in the early 70's when CB was becoming the early form of social media. Another one was Ham Radio Horizons although it didn't have as long a life as other ham magazines.
