[Collins] QST Resizing

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

I saw a forecast of the shrink but I can't find it in November or 
December QST so it must have been in one of the weekly ARRL e-mails. I 
think they promised no change in font or font size, just more efficient 
use of space (likely smaller margins) and possibly nearly the same 
contents and advertisements. The January issue paper does feel thinner 
to me. Pretty sure to be a postage saving on weight and on size. There 
was comment that the existing QST was larger than the publishing 
industry standard. Its only been that size for about half a century. Its 
likely the post office charged extra for having to use larger magazine 
sorting machines to get things sent out.

73, Jerry, K0CQ, Technical Adviser to the Collins Radio Association.
