A Magazine for the Budding Radio Enthusiast (As Envisioned by the Editors)

Debuting in the UK in 1922 as "Amateur Wireless and Electrics," this weekly publication catered to the burgeoning world of amateur radio construction.

The editors boldly declared their mission in the very first issue: to serve the wireless amateur "with practical information, with hints and with kinks, with bright readable matter on all absorbing subject of wireless." They aimed to keep readers informed about the latest developments, answer questions, and showcase relevant products from industry players. As the editors themselves put it, "WE SERVE."

Embracing the future, the magazine changed its name to "Amateur Wireless and RadioVision" in October 1928, reflecting the growing interest in television, then known as "radiovision." The announcement acknowledged that television wasn't yet commonplace, but promised to keep readers informed about its progress, "playing its part, however small, in bringing it about."

After a successful run, "Amateur Wireless and RadioVision" merged with another publication,
"Practical Wireless," in January 1935. This combined magazine continued to serve the radio enthusiast community.
