I still get this on subscription.
If I am honest, it would be the first magazine to go.
Content is a bit patchy with some good articles and some less so.
It must be many years since I wrote an article for PW. I have certainly not written anything since ownership changed.

Most of the day I have been on 10m FT8 RX Earlier on I was on TX (2.5W) and
had a couple of EU QSOs and was spotted by 27 stations. Clearly the Es
season is far from over.
UPDATE 1350z: 339 unique stations spotted on 10m FT8 RX.

A few days ago I mentioned that a couple of amateurs in India were working
on a low cost transverter for this geosynchronous satellite.
The last time I looked was lunchtime in Europe on a Wednesday. It was quiet. See
