Here’s an electronics hobbyist magazine published monthly Down Under. You

can get the online version for about $59 U.S. for a year’s subscription. You can

get a printed version, but you’ll have to fork over extra money for the interna-

tional postage if you live Up Under. This Australian publication offers articles

that can range from salvaging parts from your VCR to advice on wireless

devices or building a vintage style radio. The Ask Silicon Chip feature advises

readers on how to solve their particular problem or project challenge.

Want to get the latest reviews of hot new components from somebody you

Web site, http://www.buildinggadgets.com, as one of the top ten in this chapter,

we hope you’ll visit to get advice and tips about cool new chips and more.
