and the back part, where all the advertizement used to be now has more of the insignificant ham news while the advertizements have started to infiltrate the front part.
The back part with the classified and small ads used to be one of my favorite parts.
I remember reading an obscure 1" tall advert for a company called Elecraft selling
of all things a complete QRP transceiver kit with a spiffy enclosure and display.
Imagine that! Now they're full page color in the front with a plethora of products.
Is this a great country or what?
