online viewable or larger pdf: https://archive.org/details/sim_qst_1958-11_42_11
items from the issue that I found interesting:
Cheap and Simple RF Indicators p 16
Now we have LEDs but someone will have to pursue woofle dust
Gil cartoon p 23
If we only had stores like this now :)
The Knight Receiver p 45
B.G. mentions that 83YZ2726 isn't a handy name for this kit but I noticed that few of the reviews in 1958 QST actually show the front of the item being reviewed. While there are usually pictures of the guts of the item these reviews would have been more useful for easy recognition IF the front of the rig had been shown. Especially in this case where the 1958 catalog doesn't have the same number in the review, only this:
semi-obligatory inflated prices:
That's a lot of money for a single conversion general coverage receiver - the s meter would add another $102.71 in 2024 USD
Another Gil cartoon p 65
the hula-hoop craze ! Also, W0BRD ? since when ?
