[AMRadio] Dumbing Down - was Rinaldo to RETIRE !!!

[Bob Macklin]

Until a few years ago I could buy QST at the local Barnes & Nobel. Can't do
that anymore. But the local library has QST.

I have never seen QEX so I don't have a clue what I may be missing.

But I have no use for the ARRL. They are just another business.

> Not to defend his actions but if QST had continued to feature technical
articles it would have lost readership and advertisers.  At least QSX gives
the technically astute community a place to interact. The current licensing
requirements and the resultant less technical ham community do not have the
interest in technical issues that hams did several decades ago - fact of
life - unfortunately.
