Magazine: Sparky's Radio Guide is a recipe magazine about building a handheld radio. It belongs to Electrical and teaches one recipe, Make Makeshift Walkie Talkie.
The recipe builds a Makeshift Walkie Talkie from radio parts and scrap. The result is a handheld two way radio.
The magazine is a loot find. Electronics stores hold it far more often than anywhere else.
Uses
Make Makeshift Walkie Talkie needs Electrical level 2. A screwdriver is needed and kept.
The parts list is long. It takes three Scrap Electronics, an Amplifier, a Light Bulb, a Light Bulb - Green, a Radio Receiver, a Radio Transmitter, two Electrical Wire and three pieces of aluminum.
The Radio Receiver and Radio Transmitter are the parts to look for first. The rest is common electrical scrap.
Reading the magazine also eases boredom and stress. A read copy still has a use as padding. Make Magazine Body Armor and Make Magazine Limb Armor accept any magazine as crude armour.

Locations
Electronics stores are by far the best place. Their counters hold a copy about one time in five, and their shelves only a little less often. Army storage, book stores, offices and pawn shop offices turn one up now and then. Pawn shop counters and shelves and garages hold one rarely. Homes almost never hold it.
