Comics with an Electronics Theme
March 1967 Popular Electronics

March 1967 Popular Electronics

March 1967 Popular Electronics Cover - RF CafeTable of Contents

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Popular Electronics, published October 1954 - April 1985. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged.

Here are a couple more electronics-themed comics from the March 1967 issue of Popular Electronics magazine for your TGIF enjoyment. The comic on page 100 especially appeals to me since I am finishing the installation of a Channel Master CM-5020 antenna. It has been a long time since I installed a traditional style TV antenna - about 40 years ago when I put a Radio Shack antenna on the roof of my mother's house. The entire 109" long by 100" wide antenna, including mounting hardware, weighs only 11.5 pounds and presents a wind resistance of 30 pounds*. This is Channel Master's best antenna. Gain is 10 dB at VFH and 16 dB at UHF. I plan to use it for FM radio as well. A vintage Alliance Tenna-Rotor will make it steerable. A write-up will be posted as soon as the 4-wire control cable arrives from Amazon. Initial tests just running the coax cable through the doorway shows good reception. If necessary, I can remove and use the preamp from my Able Signal compact antenna (I've already determined it can be done).

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
