QST 1958
On Facebook.com/arrl.org Martin F. Jue mentioned this about QST:
If Martin is 80 this year then he must have been about 15 and in high school when he started reading the QST magazines from 1958 ? So I thought I'd take a look at 1958 QST month by month which is easy to do with the pdfs on both Worldradiohistory.com and Archive.org.
General notes: The Gil cartoons gave QST just that something extra to leven the heavy technical, DX, net and contest fine print verbiage in each issue. In addition 1958 was a big year with IGY (International Geophysical Year), also man made satellites that beeped and of course the biggest sunspot peak of the radio era, cycle 19. So potentially there was a LOT to write about in 1958. Let's look at the 1958 QSTs in more detail:
