The Collected Works of Prof. Emil Heisseluft – 2nd Edition
April Fools’ Humor for Amateur (Ham) Radio
April 4, 2024
Sadly, I must be the bearer of bad news: CQ magazine ceased publication in the fall of 2023 (with the October, 2023, edition, to be exact). While publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA, continues his quest to find a buyer of the magazine—a once vibrant voice of Ham Radio that appealed mostly to the operators and contesters among us—today we are left only with the library created by the many thousands of authors who, since 1945, graced the pages of this pioneering journal with their carefully crafted and insightful compositions on matters pertaining to contests, DXpeditions, propagation, and awards, among myriad other topics.
Professor Emil Heisseluft, Lauton Institute, Grossmaul-an Der Donau, Austria, of course, was no slouch when it
came to providing material for the pages of CQ. His articles—always found in an April issue—span a period of more than 40 years, first appearing in the April 1976 issue. The entire suite of April Fool articles from 1976 through 2002 comprises the First Edition of this book. However, given what has happened to CQ magazine, however, this seems like a good time to update this anthology with the 2023 April Fool article as well as the article intended for the April 2024 issue of CQ that, alas, never saw the light of day.
It's been a hoot, as they say. Thanks for riding along with us.
I hope you enjoy all this anthology and would love to hear what you think of the stories. And, as always, reviews are welcomed with open arms!
