Say You Saw It in QST - It Identifies You and Helps QST
December 1933 QST

December 1933 QST

December 1933 QST Cover - RF Cafe WebsiteTable of Contents

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from QST, published December 1915 - present (visit ARRL for info). All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

In the early 1930s, QST magazine (ARRL's monthly publication) usually ran a line at the bottom of every page in the back half of each issue that said, "Say You Saw It in QST - It Identifies You and Helps QST." They even got the capitalization correct (all lower case short prepositions and conjunctions, but I digress). The December 1933 edition was a bit different, however, in that all the left-hand pages had the message translated into one of fourteen different languages while the right-hand pages used English. I deemed that discovery cool enough to scan and post here. Since the only languages I speak with any fluency are English and Pig Latin, I took the trouble of entering the English sentences into the Google Translator engine for each language and posting what it says is the correct translation, at least by 2023 standards. If any of the languages are your native tongue and you would be kind enough to provide me with the "real" translation, I would be mighty grateful and would add that (along with credit to you) to the page.
