Links[edit]

Both links in the "References" have destinations that are unrelated to WorldRadio Magazine. They must be URLs that used to be relevant to WorldRadio, but not anymore.

The single "External Link" goes to the website of a Ham that mentions Worldradio Magazine, respectfully, but is /was otherwise unrelated to it. Therefore, it is weird that he has the URL worldradiomagazine.com. His relationship to the magazine seems to go no further than anyone who used to read it. So there doesn't seem to be any value in the Wikipedia article linking to that URL, anymore, either.

Along with removing the unrelated links, I might also suggest stating in the article that there is no vestige of WorldRadio on the internet, anymore, especially since CQ Magazine purchased it and buried it a few years later.

I would like to see the article provide some background about WorldRadio's publisher, Armond Noble, and his involvement in the Ham Radio magazine market with a product whose existence was barely recognized within the Ham community, but he kept it alive for decades, and the antenna articles by Kurt & Sturba, and WorldRadio was the epicenter of HandiHams... 75.110.98.103 (talk) 23:51, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
