[Hammarlund] QST Resizing

[FISCH, MICHAEL]

This was in their "editorial" or whatever.  They also dropped the lightning bolt connecting the S and T and continuing to the right.  There was some wording about a more modern look, etc.  I had a QST from the 60's out and did some comparison.  The real issue is a random issue from the 60's is better than the issue from January 2018.  I won't beat up the ARRL since I am a member; however, they are far from perfect, nor particularly open to differing views.

The CEO of ARRL mentioned that.  Postage regs, ability to use current standard sized printing paper. They also
took surveys of what people actually read in QST. There are a lot of things that might be called "boiler plate"
such as contest results which might better be posted on-line. Contest result on-line could be more timely. Almost
all magazines have trimmed their sizes recently.

This months QST is 7 15/16" wide by 10 3/8" tall


down from Decembers'  8 1/4" wide by 10 3/4" tall.


Does that reflect a change in useful information or do you suppose its strictly a stragedy on postage costs?


Cheers 😊
