Expecting it to be rushed, we arranged for the extra printing of a couple of thousand issues, but it was not nearly enough. In the hope that it will save disappointment we would like it clearly understood that we do not have any spare copies available and it is useless to write direct for them or to request that new subscriptions be dated back to start with the May issue. On the happier side, however, the response was equally terrific, and, as you will soon see as you glance through this issue, it has brought forth a fresh crop of interesting contributions from readers. We know that no matter how many staff writers we employ we can never hope to cover the many angles and aspects of technical radio and its associated electronic applications, but if each and every reader will co-operate from time to time by sending along a short article about the subject with which he is most closely acquainted then we will, in the aggregate, have worthy editorial content in every issue. This month's issue shows what co-operation can do and it only remains to again ask you all to write us a note every time you think of something likely to interest other radio enthusiasts like yourself.
