This is the fourth issue of Radio Amateur News, from October 1919. Less than a year later, as radio broadened its appeal beyond just the radio amateur, the magazine would change its name to Radio News, a name that lasted 28 years until Television was added to its masthead in 1948. This issue’s cover art is titled “His First Wireless Message” and articles include a Hugo Gernsback editorial on the future of radio, government regulation of radio, several articles on vacuum tube developments, long-wave reception, and the Nauen transmitter in Germany.
