I keep up to date with several defense magazines (or war magazines if you like). But still I miss the old days when circuits were printed even if they were sloppy. Most of Green's pubs were written by readers and I always enjoyed 73 because you can learn by examining other peoples slop. They once carried a spectrum analyser issue (oh about 4 years ago I guess) and I got a kick because the guys pictures had so much garbage signals hat you could barely discern what he was pointing out. Most recent stuff still has floating inputs that would work I guess maybe 25% of the time with luck. But I enjoy electronics and any the circuits that people design. It is relaxing I think.
