Poll: Does Your Company Pay for Published Articles? - RF Cafe Forums
RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in 2010 mainly due to other social media
platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around
August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2010, Facebook and
Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe
Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great
posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads,
including responses to the original posts.
NOTICE: The original
RF Cafe Forum
is available again for reading, and the new
RF Cafe Blog
is an active board.

Greetings:
The company I work for pays employees
$500 for each published page (not including artwork
and graphs) in a trade magazine. Some of the other
places I have worked offered no such reward - and
some of them were very large, well-known companies.
They evidently figured fame without fortune is compensation
enough.
How about the place you for for -
do they pay for publications?
RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
