RTTY
Bulletins
The RTTY
bulletin was
published monthly from 1953 until January 1967, when the
name of the publication changed to the RTTY
Journal.
CD-ROM
archives of the RTTY Journal can be purchased from Wayne
Matlock K7WM (beam_spinner [at] yahoo [dot] com). The
articles mentioned in this document are found in the
1963-1972 CD-ROM.
The last issue of the RTTY Journal, which by then has been
renamed Digital
Journal, appeared in the winter of
2002-2003.
QST
QST archives are available
free to members
of the ARRL.
For non-members, the archives are available in the form of
QST View CD-ROMs. The ARRL has stopped restocking the
CD-ROMs and very few sets are still in stock. The complete
set (1915-1999) is still available from the
original publisher of the CD-ROMs. If you don't
already own the CD-ROMs, the least expensive way to read
the archives is to get an ARRL membership.
The software readers for the QST View CD-ROMs may no longer
function on newer versions of Windows. Mac OS X users can
use QST Browser.
ham
radio
Magazine
The
ham radio Magazine CD-ROM
are available
from the ARRL.
QST Browser can be used on Mac OS X to
search and view articles in the CD-ROMs. Individual
pages are scanned either into TIFF or jpeg format.
Although arduous, it is possible for Linux users to read
them as individual pages.
U.S.
Patents
U.S. Patents are available at the United States Patent and Trademark
Office web site. Patents before
1976 can only be searched by number.
If you know the patent number, the best way to obtain a
self contained PDF file of an entire patent instead of the
individual page images from the USPTO web site, is to use
the free service at pat2pdf.org .
Allnatt
paper
Although the Allnatt paper was published by the
(British) Institute of Electrical Engineers, the archive
is available at the (USA) IEEE web site. Copies in PDF format are
free to IEEE members, and can be downloaded by
non-members for a nominal fee.
Nyquist
paper
Nyquist's 1928 paper was published in the Transactions of
the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Like the
Allnatt paper, the archive is available at the
IEEE web site.
