Amateur Radio Magazine Article Archive I've been writing for Amateur Radio magazine, published by the Wireless Institute of Australia, on and off for the last thirty years. Will VK6UU has scanned and made available online back issues of Amateur Radio from the 1930s to the 2000s.

They still have good information but verify important details for currency. Some of my items have been enlarged, updated and republished at Amateur Radio beginner articles.
