[Boatanchors] ARRL "QST Archives"

[Rob Atkinson]

Pete, with all due respect, your solution is very unsatisfactory.
Getting the ARRL QST etc. full-text on-line access is one of the
_main_ reasons hams pay the dues to belong to ARRL.  There should be a
big fat hot link button right up at the top of the arrl.org page with
a bull's eye on it to make it the biggest no-brainer possible.

Having to enter a long search phrase into a little box and embark on a
nebulous procedure to get at one of the most popular functions of the
ARRL server is a procedure that could have only been devised by
committee.  It is like some enormous bureaucracy has taken over ARRL.
