It's an excellent idea.  When I go to the doctor or dentist, I'd swear 
that he saw only women and children as patients.

I hate to recycle ham magazines, but no one wants them; not the library 
or the local club, which had to call a halt to donations after getting a 
dozen or more each month.

Now that QST is available online to ARRL members, I'm not saving them 
after reading.  I've also gone full-digital on the CQ subscription.
QRP ARCI is working on having a digital edition available.  After buying 
their "30 Years" DVD, I gave my surplus copies to a ham in the San Diego 
area.

I loved to go to the doctor (well, not quite) just to read those magazines.  It led to an 43 year career in Aviation.  If he would have been a ham, I suspect it would have led to a career in electronics.  Sometimes the little thing have a big influence.
