But that search function is just awesome. I absolutely love that you can search through all of these catalogs for a particular subject. Now what I was going to tell you is I went and I, when I was browsing around in here, this thing is a complete rabbit hole. You can blow days and days and days in here. I think it was the May of 72 issue of 73 magazine. And this is a big, big one, so it'll take a moment for it to download. So while it's downloading, I've spent the last couple of days in here just reading and looking and reading, and it's just fascinating stuff. There's a lot of value in these old magazines if you're an electronics experimenter. The projects that were in them generally have really good technical descriptions of how the circuit works. So if you're learning electronics, and you're just beginning to mess around with transistors and so on, you can go and you can look at some of these old projects that are in here, and they'll break it down for you and explain how the circuit works. And so you can actually learn more about electronics. You don't have to build the projects, you can just read about them and learn more about how the components and things are working and interacting and what's going on. So there's a lot of value in these magazines still, even though they're way outdated technology wise. The basic skills you need for electronics are all there, and this is an incredible resource for that alone ," Recognised for Excellence In recog nition of its significant contribution to preserving broadcast history, WorldRadioHistory.com received the 2023 National Association of Broadc asters and Library of American Broadcasting Foundation's Excellence in Broadcast Preservation Award .
