In 1969 when I lived in Cornwall and was just 17 years old, I managed to buy a copy of Practical Electronics in WH Smiths in Plymouth. I sat on Plymouth Hoe, transfixed by the Communications Receiver article. Never before had I seen anything like it; the RSGB were 40 years behind and I had not yet heard of the ARRL. The concept of upconversion was blindingly new and the use of a high current solid state front end was years ahead of its time, certainly for amateurs. Years passed and I became a Senior Design Engineer for Philips, specialising in receivers. Later I started Timestep and we sold over 1,000 2M monitor receivers into the amateur community. Timestep later became the largest supplier of Weather Satellite systems in the World, and still is. I often wondered about that receiver and, as the Internet progressed, I searched for it every 6 months or so. But nothing, nothing at all, until last month when a search found the index of those very issues of Practical Electronics, here at The Cool Book Shop, and I was then able to buy them off eBay! I had begun to think I had imagined it all. At conferences I had asked receiver designers if they had read them; no one, and the entire Internet had ever heard of this, until now! Thanks to T.C.B.S. the mystery is put to bed and we can all experience this fantastic resource!! Dave Cawley, Managing Director Timestep Electronics Ltd.
