Larry's question is good, but I've got a broader one for net.analog readers:

Is there an "honest-to-gosh" *electronics* magazine left around? Or honest-
to-gosh pure electronics ANYTHING? After a brief side track fiddling with
computers, I'm ready to go back to SWL'ing, ham radio, and analog design. My
twenty-year-old backissues of _Popular_Electronics_ and _Electronics_World_
are far more useful to me than anything on the stands today. (And we all
*know* about the demise of _Popular_Electronics_.) Ham magazines like CQ and
73 tend to be over my head, and are they even in print any more? Even the
ARRL handbook went digital years ago. What happened to one-tube transmitter
projects? Where did all the SWL'ing magazines go? Sure, there's lots of
leading edge "free" engineering trade journals like _EDN_ that still dabble
in analog, but it would be nice to find something a little more mainstream.
