I disagree with that. I find the IEEE useful as a practicing engineer. I think a lot of companies do to. My own employer pays a subscription so we can get certain journals, and I know when I worked at Marconi, they paid for membership for any engineer who wanted to join.

But I would agree, 99% of the content is by academics, and they basically write it to get promotion. Publish or perish.

There's quite an unusual article in a recent IEEE Antennas and Propagation journal about making antennas from household items. Like horns from bits of cardboard and aluminum foil. I did not read the article in full, and at the minute a colleague has taken it home to read. But I'll look when she has finished with it. But I freely admit this is an unusual article for the IEEE.
