HAM-MAG

All 16 issues of the excellent Amateur Radio magazine HAM-MAG are now available for free download.

The international English language HAM-MAG was launched in January 2009 and rapidly gained a wide readership believed to be over 11,000.

As it was unable to attract advertising and, in January 2010, it changed to a subscription magazine costing $15 a year. It was only able to attract 200 subscribers and has now ceased publication.

All 16 issues of the magazine up until May 2010 are now available for free download. Among the many great articles are

- Surface mount devices and differential amplifiers in the May 2010 issue

- Getting Started with Digital Sound Card Modes with the Yaesu FT817 Transceiver also in May 2010

- QRP projects in the February 2010 issue

You can download them from

The challenge of getting people to pay for online content is one that even major publishers are still struggling to achieve. People are willing to pay $5+ to buy a single issue of a printed magazine but are reluctant to part with money for the same thing in electronic format.
