Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles

Here is a little electronics
hobbyist humor in the form a comic series titled "Hobnobbing
with Harbaugh," compliments of Popular Electronics magazine. Dave
Harbaugh drew many comics for technical magazines. For the non-Ham,
QSL is the Q-code for "'I confirm that I received your transmission." You don't
need to be an amateur radio operator to appreciate these comic strips, though. Note
that with it being 1963, the husband and wife are shown sleeping in separate beds
- just like in the TV shows of the era like The Dick Van Dyke Show
and I Love Lucy.
BTW, the kid in the crib is spelling out -..(d) .-(a) -..(d) -..(d) -.--(y).

some).
