OK

I subscribed years ago and let my subscription lapse. I started up again and noticed it's not as informative as it use to be. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the magazine just does not hold my interest like it did years ago. Maybe it's me, I don't know for sure.
It's ok, it has some good articles, but overall it's just an OK magazine at this time.

Popular Communications has something for everybody! I've enjoyed every issue since 1992 and I still read it every month!

Still like it
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I've been a subscriber since it's debut. It's getting a bit stale now but I still renew everytime. Nothing else available that I like.
Gordo's articles are really getting strange. Must be the California water.
I dropped Monitoring Times years ago because of the center section of frequencies that goes on for pages and pages and is really not relevent due to internet radio availability.

Some Issues OK
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I currently subscribe and will not renew. I've subscribed for several years now.
There are some issues which contain material that is worthwhile to me, but they are not very frequent.
The problem is that most of the material is not applicable to what I'm looking for.

Pick n choose

I have read this mag off and on for decades but lately not very often. I have always bought it exclusively off the newsstands, etc. So if you are in the grocery, it is worth picking it up and flipping thru it to see if anything is relevent to you. If it has something you need or want to know, buy it and read it. If it is full of scanner frequencies for Chinese tug boats or something, I pass on that issue. Pick and choose. Buy at retail and save the subscription cost. Might be only one issue a year that you want.

Lost interest!!

Not enough indepth details on the radio rebuilds and product reviews. I also quickly grew tired of Harold's political trash articles. I did notice a change after Harold left, but lost interest by then and could not wait for my subscription to run out. I enjoy my Monitoring Times because of the projects and rebuilds are far better!! Sorry Pop Com, Tim.

not as good as it used to be

I subscribed to Popp comm back in the early to mid 1990s and back then it still had some great reading. I picked one up at Borders a few months back and it seems like the material has gotten pretty stale. They even completely eliminated CB scene and a few other nice sections. The mag' is not of interest ot me anymore..

Not as good as it used to be.
Glad to see I wasn't the only one who sent in correspondence, only to be met with a smarmy reply by Ort. I had some pix of some VOR Omnirange stations in the area & wanted to share some with the readers along with the basics of how they work. Got a terse reply that it had been covered in an issue "a few years ago." I guess CB & FRS are exempt from this decree since they are re-hashed over & over.
At least now I don't blame my poor mailman for my tattered magazines, must be happening before he gets them. Likely won't renew if it doesn't improve.

Dropped it

I subscribed from the beginning. But the last few years the content has gotten smaller and less interesting. Finally dropped it last year at renewal time. Just nothing there any more...

Some articles in the past were OK...like the series on the Zenith Trans-Oceanic. However, I really couldn't care less about CB, CB gear, etc. Pop Comm is CQ with a labotomy and a GED.
