Experiment

How to contact the Tube CAD Journal

Many of you miss the old Tube CAD Journal, the one that was once published along a fairly regular schedule, the one that held several articles per issue and a readers’ letters section. What happened to the old Tube CAD Journal?

In spite of over 50 articles, hundreds of schematics and well over a thousand emails, I believe the TCJ was never given a real chance to prove itself. It was the Cinderella that only received scraps of time and effort. Since it drained both money and time -- lots of time -- it was resented by family and friends. The Tube CAD Journal companion programs did not solve the dilemma.

       Thus I have devised an experiment to see if the Tube CAD Journal can support itself, allowing me to devote the many hours it would take to publish once again a full journal each and every month; in fact, my goal would be to produce a better journal than the old one. My vision for this reborn TCJ includes a strict publishing schedule, optimized PDF format, tube-based audio projects, and the return of reader mail.

       Because of the way the Yahoo! Store works, I will have to make this experiment a “limited time offer.” So in order to make it something you can buy for yourself and all your tubehead friends for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, New Year’s, Festivus or any other winter celebration you desire, I will be announcing the experiment the week of the American Thanksgiving holiday (that’s the week of November 24th, for those of you outside the U.S.). At that time, you will have four weeks to take advantage of the experiment. Those of you in the tcj_readers Yahoo! Group will get an email announcing the offer, but if you are not part of that group, be sure to come back to the website around Thanksgiving to find out for yourself.
