I used to work on Decca Navigator transmitter chains and we used to pump kilowatts into the ether for comparatively small returns. I could only dream of the equipment needed to fab double sided PCBs and make 20MHz digital frequency counters vs Veroboard or single sided PCB given with the mag to make an FM bug or whatever. Elektor was a bit too highbrow for me at the time.

Also Television magazine was good, though I only got into that when I apprenticed as a TV engineer. Other mags I would lust over were the Elektor and Maplin Catalogue and their later brief magazine. Damn! * ETA: Everyday Electronics, Electronics Today International, Practical Electronics, Practical Wireless. I could never comprehend how you can get a flow of electrons without a return loop - and using battlefield mud with bayonets. I couldn't get my head round it at the time, as I was only a kid and simple DC battery circuits were more than enough for me. Not so sure, it is 30 years ago since I read the article. But I do remember him trying to experiment with open field bayonet wired ground antennas to communicate wirelessly as apparently they did this to avoid running overhead wires in "no mans land". Also used very high impedance headphones much like you would use with a crystal radio set. The author was trying to emulate the field telephones/telegraphs used in the trenches during World War I, and so used the same rifle bayonets that they would use a ground. I vaguely remember an old magazine back in the 1980's had an interesting experiment on this kind of stuff, I am from the UK, and so it was probably EE, ETI, PE, or likely PW*.
