April 1969 Radio-Electronics

[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio-Electronics, published 1930-1988. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

Here is a little technology humor to help easy you into the week ahead. Ironically, the themes of the three comics (by three separate artists) represent an evolution of the electronics realm over the past few decades, although almost certainly not planned by the editors. The first has to do with a couple TV servicemen installing an antenna, the second is of an out-of-work TV repairman, and the third is what might be considered a drone by today's norms. There is a huge list of other comics at the bottom of the page.

These Technically−Themed Comics Appeared in Vintage Electronics Magazines. I personally scanned and posted every one from copies I own (and even colorized some).

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...
