Oscar Wilde once said something along the lines of the
following: “It is better to be talked about than not talked about.”
With this in mind, I was pleased when our May issue inspired
so many readers to ask, “Who’s that on the cover of Microwave
Journal?” We typically don’t get a lot of feedback on our choice
of cover art, so a heightened reaction is worth noting. And yet,
I was slightly taken aback that the father of electromagnetism
would be unrecognized by so many.
With the current economic situation in mind, we wanted to tip
our hat to the important relationship between engineering and
commerce by placing an iconic microwave figure overlooking
the Boston skyline in anticipation of the upcoming International
Microwave Symposium (IMS). I’ll admit that iconic microwave
“dudes” are hard to come by. Old bearded guys from the past
are apparently less rare. I can assure you that we did not put
the father of Marxism, or the leader of the Grateful Dead or
the guy who works one night a year in the dead of winter on the
cover of the May issue. We did put the man who, in four elegant
equations, made it possible for the engineering side of the
symposium to do their job.
Inside the issue, we shifted our editorial focus toward the
exhibition. We did so in order to recognize the role that the
commercial side plays in supporting the technical conference.
Given the need for a healthy balance between engineering and
commerce, I hope we faithfully served both audiences while
helping all exhibiting companies achieve a recognizable iconic
stature of their own.
