A Radio Postcard Journey - 35

Received a fascinating postcard from Ann in Russia! 💌 It features the cover of "Radio News" magazine from March 1941. 📻

This magazine was a real gem, published monthly in the US from 1919 to 1971. Founded by Hugo Gernsback, it started out for amateur radio fans but grew to cover all things radio and electronics.

Check out the cover art! It's classic, often done by Howard Brown in a style reminiscent of Norman Rockwell. Inside, you'd find editorials, tech articles, general interest pieces, and ads.

It was a go-to for discussions on radio technology. Later, in 1959, it was renamed "Electronics World."

Pretty cool slice of history! Thanks, Ann!
