I used to collect Popular Electronics which is no longer published.

What magazines are available now? Which ones would you recommend?

Thanks.

It's more like "what electronic magazines exist today?"

SOmeone mentioned Circuit Cellar, but it's a far cry from Popular
Electronics. It's more focused on microprocessors and I've never
found it interesting enough to want to buy many issues. It just
seems less "hobby" than what I'd want.

The other US magazine that still exists is Nuts & Volts.

And there's now a quarterly from O'Reilly (that publishes all
kinds of computer books) called "Make" that is sort of a hobby
electronic magazine, but it seems more than just electronics.

With so few, you should just go to a newsstand, maybe at this
point you may have to hunt for them, and look them over or buy
a copy of each. You won't lose much by buying a sample copy, and
really, I suspect "good" is a reflection of what you yourself
is looking for.

When I was a kid, I bought all the magazines, at least initially,
though that's when they were fifty cents an issue. I barely buy
any magazines these days, the cost has gone so far up and the content
you get is limited.

After that, you have to look overseas for electronic magazines.
Elektor, Practical Everyday Electronics I no longer know what else.
I've not seen a copy of the magazine that used to be Wireless World (I
can never remember the exact title it changed itself to) in a long time.
I'm assuming they still publish, but just aren't carried here.
