RadCom: Monthly Moan?

Now I've had my chance to see if there's anything worth jumping at in the classifieds of this month's 'Radcom', some comment on that esteemed publication is again due.

Radcom helps beginners onto the microwave bands - at last!


I was very glad to see the 'GHz' section take heed, as the author promised he would, of the observation that there was nothing for over a year that guided a newbie into activity on those bands.  Whilst it is impossible to cover everything, this month's scribblings for beginners gives a good few pointers of what's needed, and how one might gather the equipment needed.  I felt, at last, that I could have a go at the microwave bands now.

Other than that, this month's edition doesn't really stand out as very bad, or particularly good.  One really has to wonder, though, how many people actually build any of the obscure, typically highly specialised circuits that make regular appearances. 

So, not much of a moan this month.  How refreshing!
