Note: The Name Changed to Radio & Television (Oct
1938-Sept 1941).
Short Wave Craft was another specialty title from Hugo
Gernsback, focused on the new experimental interest area of short-wave
reception and ham/amateur hobby work. This magazine tended to be even more
about the technical aspects of making and building than his other science/tech
titles. By 1937 it had morphed into Short Wave & Television and In October,
1938 the magazine changed name to Radio & Television and continued on for
another three years under that name. It was then folded into Radio Craft.
