Hi all...Just recvd a little blurb from our section manager here. In addition
to this "refarming" nonsense the ARRL has come up with....here's the
latest....
By now some of you may have heard that the American Radio Relay League Board
of Directors at their January meeting in two weeks will be making changes in
QST this year. Most changes are a result of trying to reduce the magazine
from 176 to 160 pages per issue.
Among the suggestions (being hotly debated as we speak on two Section
Managers reflectors in the US) is the moving of Section News from the back
pages of QST right out of the magazine and placing these on the Internet Web
sites at Newington. A second suggestion is to remove most if not all contest
results and DX honor rolls from QST and moving these to the ARRL Contest
Journal only.
Thought you'd like to know. Obviously if you have any opinion, we have a
Division Director and a Division Vice Director who'd like to hear from you.
So you see they ARE trying to do all they can for ham radio. They are trying
to eliminate all that "operating" nonsense from QST. That way we will have
much more room for stuff like "The Doctor Is In" and the product reviews on
the latest handheld gizmo. These are all things we will need. No articles on
CW of course. Havn't seen one for a long while except for a decoder. Too
antique Might mention it in the "Old Radio"
