Popular Communications, one of CQ's sister
magazines, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with its September issue. The magazine began
publication in September, 1982, under the leadership of the legendary Tom
Kneitel, K2AES/W4XAA (SK), and has been covering the broad world of hobby
communications ever since. From international broadcasting and CB to pirate
broadcasters and mysterious "numbers" stations, if it could be tuned
in on a radio, Pop'Comm has covered it … and continues to do so.
This year also marks the 35th anniversary of the Amateur
Radio Newsline, a weekly audio news service that first aired on amateur radio
repeaters in 1977 under the name of Westlink Amateur Radio News. Produced by
Jim Hendershot, WA6VQP, and Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, "Newsline" has
since become an institution in amateur radio media, with more than 1800
consecutive newscasts over three and a half decades.
Congratulations to our colleagues at Pop'Comm and our friends at "Newsline."
