\"AmericanRadioHistory\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader,\u00a0Jarno, who shares a link to AmericanRadioHistory.com<\/a> where you’ll find hundreds<\/em> of issues of popular radio magazines from the 20th century. All of the issues are downloadable PDFs,\u00a0thus\u00a0can be viewed on any computer, smart phone, or tablet PC.<\/p>\n

I find it amazing that many, if not all, of the magazines are even\u00a0searchable<\/a>. I could (and probably will) spend hours looking through and downloading these issues;\u00a0I’ve been reading through the 1930s-era Short Wave Radio<\/a>\u00a0magazine this morning, and enjoying it thoroughly.<\/p>\n

Many thanks for the tip, Jarno!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
