MicroCenter

[Dan Romanchik KB6NU]

Richard:

Aside from the print issues of CQ and QST, and the professional journals from the IEEE and ACM, I get my technical information from the Internet. All the trade magazines, such as EDN and Electronic Design are available in digital format. I also get 2600 in digital format as well.

I hate to say this because I actually used to write for an electronics trade magazine, but they are becoming less and less relevant.

73!
