Synopsis

Spoiler alert: Professor Emil Heisseluft, Lauton Institute, Grossmaul-an Der Donau, Austria—whose articles have graced the April issues of CQ magazine for more than 45 years—is none other than (drum roll please) . . . Dr. Theodore J. “Ted” Cohen, N4XX.

That’s right; for more than 45 years, and always in an April issue, CQ magazine has carried intriguing Amateur-related articles written by Ted, who used the pen name “Professor Emil Heisseluft.” Generally instructive, at times infuriating—one screed he penned so inflamed the Amateur Radio community that our readers tied up the phone lines complaining to CQ, the ARRL, and the FCC for three days—but always engaging, Professor Heisseluft has provided our readers with more than a few laughs in a month known for its absurd tricks. Former CQ magazine Editor Alan Dorhoffer, K2EEK (SK), once remarked: “A Heisseluft piece isn’t worth a tinker’s dam unless at least five people cancel their subscriptions.” Alas, on that basis, the good professor struck gold more often than not.
