Technical enquiries
We regret technical enquiries cannot be answered over the
telephone. We are unable to offer any advice on the use, purchase,
repair or modification of commercial equipment or the incorporation
or modification of designs published in the magazine. We cannot
provide data or answer queries on articles or projects that are
more than five years old.
Questions about articles or projects should be sent to the editor
by email: pe<at>electronpublishing.com
Projects and circuits
All reasonable precautions are taken to ensure that the advice and
data given to readers is reliable. We cannot, however, guarantee
it and we cannot accept legal responsibility for it.
A number of projects and circuits published in Practical Electronics
employ voltages that can be lethal. You should not build, test,
modify or renovate any item of mains-powered equipment unless
you fully understand the safety aspects involved and you use an
RCD (GFCI) adaptor.

Editorial
A big thank you to the PE writers!
It’s the end/beginning of another year, and so it’s time for my
annual salute to the PE contributors. I’ve said it many times
before, and I’ll say it again, Practical Electronics is nothing
without its magnificent writers. They work hard every month
to bring you the best in original content. So – in absolutely no
particular order – a great big ‘thank you’ to Alan Winstanley,
Mike Tooley, Ian Bell, Mike Hibbett, Clive ‘Max’ Maxfield, Phil
Boyce, Julian Edgar, Barry Fox, Jake Rothman, and new kid on
the block, Robin Mitchell. Also, a well-earned round of applause
for the hard-working ‘back-office boys’, Stewart Kearn, Alan
Winstanley and Kris Thain, who keep the shop and website
ticking over.
Wireless for the Warrior
Many of you have been asking when the quartet of Wireless for
the Warrior books will be back in stock – well, the answer is right
now. All four are available, but selling at quite a brisk trot. They
really are unique books and the perfect gift for anyone fascinated
by vintage military communications equipment.
One important point for international purchasers – they have
become very expensive to ship, so please send us an email before
placing an order so that we can quote you the correct postage.
The online shop cannot do that – it’s just too complicated to
implement accurately.
The perfect Christmas present!
‘What would you like for Christmas?’ We all dread that question.
But lucky you – for PE readers the answer is easy – ‘I just want
a subscription to my favourite magazine.’ You can choose paper
or online, and as a subscriber you can be sure that you will never
miss a copy.
Component supplies
Already subscribed? We are about to receive a huge pile of PCBs
from the manufacturer, so if a design you’ve been keen to build
has been ‘out of stock,’ then do visit the website.
Advertisements
From all of us at Practical Electronics, thank you for your support
over 2023, have a very happy Christmas and a healthy 2024!
We do not supply electronic components or kits for building the
projects featured, these can be supplied by advertisers. We
advise readers to check that all parts are still available before
commencing any project in a back-dated issue.
Although the proprietors and staff of Practical Electronics take
reasonable precautions to protect the interests of readers by
ensuring as far as practicable that advertisements are bona fide,
the magazine and its publishers cannot give any undertakings
in respect of statements or claims made by advertisers, whether
these advertisements are printed as part of the magazine, or in
inserts. The Publishers regret that under no circumstances will
the magazine accept liability for non-receipt of goods ordered, or
for late delivery, or for faults in manufacture.

We advise readers that certain items of radio transmitting and
telephone equipment which may be advertised in our pages
cannot be legally used in the UK. Readers should check the law
before buying any transmitting or telephone equipment, as a fine,
confiscation of equipment and/or imprisonment can result from
illegal use or ownership. The laws vary from country to country;
readers should check local laws.
