A History of Ham Radio Rig Visual Design: From Military Rigs
Inviato: 22 settembre 2020, 20:12A History of Ham Radio Rig Visual Design: From Military Rigs to the IC-7300 and Beyond
Quin (AKA "Dr. Q," K8QS) and Tom (WA9TDD) show how HF amateur radio rig visual design has changed from the early military-styled radios to contemporary "screen" radios like the IC-7300. They trace art-movement influences on rig design, such as Art Deco and Prairie Style, including the remarkable influence of Raymond Loewy, who designed early Hallicrafters rigs like the S-38 and S-40. They suggest a particular rig design that has set the standard for all future design, and look at "postmodern" attempts to vary from the classic standard.
