I don't think that Popular Communications was being published back then. I can't think of any offhand that fit the bill. Sorry, I’m drawing a blank.

Back issues are being scanned in and made available at http://hamcall.net/cqcgi Be advised there is a subscription fee and I'm not absolutely certain that this is the magazine you were talking about. What year did you read this magazine? jayessell, from what you’ve given me and right off the top of my head it sounds like CQ magazine.

I want to ask you.... what was that Radio magazine that had 4 or so single panel cartoons near the back? They were in the style of MAD Magazine artwork. One was of a guy winding the inductor for the distress frequency as his fishing boat sank. One was of a kid with a knot in the antenna of his WalkieTalkie. Now he has a base loader! One was a disreputable sidewalk salesman hawking cheap walkietalkies by pretending to contact Wake Island. My Google-fu is inadequate to find this magazine myself. One issue had a great article on Black Propaganda during WWII! Another, Opera Music Pirates! Still another, CB Radio gangs! (MC) Your assisstance apreaciated. Thanks Firebrand38, great article!
