This is why I never became ham-radio enthusiast.

Bojan, you just reminded me, when I was young I used to get hold of 'Radio, Television and Hobbies" magazine-later to be called "Electronics Australia" and build some of their circuit designs. Mostly I built stereo amps, and they came up with some very good designs, too.
