CQ COMMUNICATIONS ACQUIRES WORLDRADIO MAGAZINE

 

 (Hicksville, NY and Sacramento, CA) 

-- CQ Communications, Inc. has acquired WorldRadio magazine, CQ 

Publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA and WorldRadio Publisher Armond Noble, 

N6WR, announced jointly today. CQ, based in Hicksville, New York, 

currently publishes CQ Amateur Radio, CQ VHF and Popular 

Communications magazines.

 WorldRadio, based in Sacramento, California, has been 

published monthly since July, 1971, with a primary focus on the 

human side of ham radio. CQ, a general-interest ham radio magazine 

best known for its support of DXing and contesting, has been in 

print since January, 1945.

 Armond Noble, N6WR, Publisher of WorldRadio, said that 

at the age of 74 the time had come for him to retire. "I wanted to 

be sure that WorldRadio found a good home, and that our readers 

would continue to be served by an independent voice in amateur 

radio," Noble said.

 CQ Publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA, said, "WorldRadio has 

filled an important niche in our hobby for nearly four decades. We 

welcome WorldRadio's readers to the CQ family, and we look forward 

to meeting their needs for many years to come."

 Current plans call for WorldRadio to continue to be 

published online as part of the CQ family of magazines, with Editor 

Nancy Kott, WZ8C, continuing in that position. WorldRadio 

subscribers will also have their subscriptions transferred to CQ 

magazine. Readers will be notified of details as plans are finalized.
