UK Short Wave Magazine to merge with Radio Active

The end of an era will occur in January 2006 when the long-running UK publication for radio hobbyists, Short Wave Magazine, ceases publication as a separate title and merges with another magazine from the same publisher, Radio Active.

Elaine Richards, the editor of Radio Active, explained to Mike Terry: "The publishers are picking the best bits out of both magazines to create a new title RadioUser.

There isn't much else known about this at the moment as the publishers are still finalising all their plans, but we will be able to give more detail when the December issues appear in print."

PW unaffected by the change

Elaine Richards also stressed that this will not affect the company's flagship amateur radio publication, Practical Wireless. She said "There's no reason to merge PW with anything else as it's in a class of its own, it's staying exactly as it is."
