RCA Ham Tips began in September of 1938. It was
published by the Radio Corporation of America
ostensibly to promote the use of RCA tubes by
amateur radio operators. Each issue generally
provided four to eight pages of advise and and news
about products and their usage. There were features,
such as a contest for the best RCA tube equipped ham
rig. A principal vehicle for the distribution of the
newsletter was the electronics supply store, and
there was space on each issue to stamp the dealer's
name.
The increasing use of transistors is cited as the
cause for this publication's demise.
