CQ-DL similarly makes RadCom look like an advertising paper for CBers, and is also beefier than the REF journal if Dennis' report is a typical month.

The commercial mags in Germany are similarly an order of magnitude or two better than what is available in the UK.

Am I turning into an old man before my time?
