We Are the Same...
But Different
A NEW NAME |
We're now WorldRadioHistory.Com. The link is being
updated, and should work shortly. The old domain will
also work as an "alias".
The site has expanded well beyond the United States
alone, and our name had become limiting and
inappropriate.
So take your pick... both URLs will soon be working.
And we are a little less xenophobic!

About Missing Pages |
Since the website is built from old publications, we
have to understand that most come from private or
library collections. In both cases, pages may have
been removed: at home to build a special project or in
a library to avoid paying for a copy. Most of those
magazines are very hard to find, and have taken up to
a decade and a half to accumulate.
Of course, I’d love to fill in the missing pages. But
there are complications. First, I can’t afford to buy
the same magazine twice on the hopes that several
missing pages will be included . Second is the fact
that many titles have odd numbering systems, with the
most confusing ones involving the numbering of
tear-out response cards as if they were pages.
I have to rely on site users for missing pages.
For one or two pages, even a good, well-centered and
dimensioned smartphone photo can be inserted into the
issue. |

Note on Searches |
New additions to the site are individually searchable
on an issue by issue basis. But the global searches
are done as we get time to process the accumulated
issues. This may be a few days, or even a few months,
later. It's very time consuming and manual, so please
understand that new additions to the site are not part
of the global search the very same day. |

needed site reorganization to do as well. May
all our site visitors stay well and healthy. |

Ham Radio & DX |
We have had nothing but difficulties with many
publications related to amateur radio and DXing. It
appears that most of the organizations related to
these fields do not want their activities more broadly
known and recognized. To avoid legal issues and
ongoing irritations, we will be gradually removing
many publications related to ham radio, SWL and DXing. |

Jan 23 |
RadCon
Bulletin
&
RSGB
Publications
|
 |
We are sorry to report that the Radio Society of Great
Britain has ordered the removal of all of its
publications, calling them "pirated".
This site believes that in an era of reduced interest
in radio hobbies such as amateur radio, DX listening
and construction projects, that broadening the
exposure of publications from the past can encourage
new interests.
Particularly, the RSGB publications were unfamiliar to
many in "the rest of the world" and they contained
information that goes beyond amateur radio in areas
such as developing technologies.
It's interesting to note that we have only received a
few removal requests in the nearly 20 years that this
site has existed; all have been in the area of amateur
radio and DXing... declining hobbies that desperately
need wider exposure going into the future.
Most unfortunately, there is no longer the ability
to search for words, phrases and terms in the entire
range of RSGB publications. |
