June 1940 QST
 Table of Contents
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. |
 Take 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.
