Popular Communications, Monitoring Times, 73 Magazines Online

[N9JIG]

About 15 years ago I wrote an article for one of my platforms of the time reviewing the 3 main scanning magazines of the time: Pop-Com, MT and S-USA. All three are now gone but the review still pretty well describes the three.

I do have PDF copies of Pop-Com and MT and refer to them often, sometimes for nostalgia or to research an article. They are a great resource.

Currently the only magazine I subscribe to is The Spectrum Monitor, and I have subscribed to this from day one in 2014. I consider it pretty much an extension of MT, similar people, articles, format and appearance. They are now midway thru their 6th year and seem to be going strong.

Here is a copy of the article I wrote back in 2003:

I think mine was two or three full pages.... people keep asking to see what I wrote, and I've not shared for fear of drama, but what the heII.... its' in the October 1984 edition and it's under a previous name (that will become obvious, my last name was Ferreira at the time.... let the curious questions begin...LOL) and the title is "Scanning the interstates"... While reading, remember, I was only 15 years old at the time..... it starts on page 4.

COMMUNICATIONS WORLD: 1970's DX Scanner Shortwave magazine

And here are more radio magazines. I used White's Radio Log in these editions, as a young lad, many a day and night DXing BCB.

White's Radio Log, too. You can look up your local AM stations and see how they moved frequencies and increased power in the 20's and 30's . That is if they existed.

RADIO LOG BOOKS - Radio station logbooks and listings from 1923 to 2010.

@jjbond

Wow, thanks so much for the link. I was licensed in 1979, the magazines bring back good memories.

Same for me; April, 1979 I received my Novice license. Hard to believe that 40 years has gone by.
