Wireless World Magazine

I have an archive of Wireless World from 1951 to 1985 plus some odd later issues — If you would like a scan of any article please let me know and I will try and add it to the list below — I also have several 1970s to 1990s duplicate copies for sale and would like to get some pre 1950 copies to scan and put on the web

NOTE: Some of the pdf files have no fonts embedded and may not look correct in applications other than Adobe Acrobat — Pages may be odd sizes but if printed in acrobat 100% and centred should print original size on A4 or letter sized paper or choose fit to printer margins for a full page image which will be easier to read
