These articles are scanned and OCRed from old editions of the ARRL's QST magazine. Here is a list of the QST articles I have already posted. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged.

Phil Glidersleeve 'Gil' Book from ARRL - RF CafeTake a break from the workaday doldrums and enjoy a few vintage Ham-themed comics. Artist Phil Glidersleeve (aka "Gil"), W1CJD, created hundreds - if not thousands - of such comics for QST and other technical magazines during his multi-decade career. These appeared in the June 1940 issue. Most of these particular comics accompanied monthly columns and have a theme related to something within the text. However, I did not feel like processing all the text of those columns since it is not necessary to enjoy the humor depicted in the comics.
