Radio Craft Magazine

Hugo Gernsback was a pioneer in the field of science fiction and a proponent of many technological innovations, including radio. In 1913, he founded a magazine called "Modern Electrics," which was later renamed "Electrical Experimenter."

In 1929, Gernsback founded a new magazine called "Radio Craft," which focused specifically on radio technology and its many applications. The magazine covered a wide range of topics related to radio, including radio design, construction, repair, and operation.

"Radio Craft" was a popular magazine and continued to be published until 1953. Over the years, it featured articles by many well-known experts in the field of radio technology, including Gernsback himself.

Today, vintage issues of "Radio Craft" are highly prized by collectors and radio enthusiasts, as they provide a unique glimpse into the early days of radio technology and its many applications.

AI Technical Trustability Update

While working on an update to my RF Cafe Espresso Engineering Workbook project to add a couple calculators about FM sidebands (available soon). The good news is that AI provided excellent VBA code to generate a set of Bessel function plots. The bad news is when I asked for a table showing at which modulation indices sidebands 0 (carrier) through 5 vanish, none of the agents got it right. Some were really bad. The AI agents typically explain their reason and method correctly, then go on to produces bad results. Even after pointing out errors, subsequent results are still wrong. I do a lot of AI work and see this often, even with subscribing to professional versions. I ultimately generated the table myself. There is going to be a lot of inaccurate information out there based on unverified AI queries, so beware.
