Magazines

I used to be an avid reader of Practical Electronics back in my youth but stopped reading when I realised that the projects were just repeating again and again.

Do people still read electronics magazines? Are they still relavent?

I also started on DIYODE but found myself getting so far behind on reading them I abandoned it. There is a free version of that with adverts.

I started off with Electronics Today International as it was the only one that the newsagent stocked at the time. Later changed to Elektor Electronics.

I seem to recall a stage when the prices increased dramatically and all you got in return were more adverts. At that point I switched to books which cost only slightly more but had the additional benefit of being more tailored to the particular subject areas I was interested in.

I think I subscribed to Elektor and received in the post. It was a long time ago - maybe 40 years or so.

Wish they carried Elektor in the bookstores here. I read that when I lived
in Germany, and have seen a couple of English-language issues.

Same here; I also read Wireless World and something called, I think, Elektor. I don't read any electronics mags these days.

I read Nuts and Volts, as well as Everyday Practical Electronics when I can
find it. For me, both are useful.
