ARRL Presents New Membership Benefit

With just a mouse click or two, ARRL members can now access the online QST 
magazine archive. This new benefit -- a service of the ARRL Technical 
Information Service (TIS) -- provides PDF copies of all QST articles from 
December 1915 through December 2004, enabling members to view and print 
their favorite article, project and more. For many years, the TIS has 
provided members with assistance researching ARRL periodicals and 
publications, as well as providing members and non-members with article 
reprints for a small fee. Access to the new online digital QST archive is 
free for ARRL members

"Having access to every issue of QST through 2004 is absolutely 
incredible!" said ARRL Lab Manager Ed Hare, W1RFI. "The best of the best of 
QST from every era is now at the fingertips of every ARRL member with a 
keyboard and an Internet connection. Members can research articles on any 
subject that interests them, or just browse the past issues. This will be a 
popular membership benefit that will be of special value to new and 
long-time hams alike. This valuable content will help radio amateurs who 
use QST as a technical resource -- for projects, equipment 'hints and 
kinks' -- and for other research contributing to the advancement of the 
radio art. We know many hams will simply enjoy perusing these pages of 
history, too."

The ARRL Periodicals Archive and Search lists every article for QST from 
1915 to the present, QEX from 1981 to the present, Ham Radio from 1968 to 
1990 and NCJ from 1973 to the present (please note that beginning in 1998, 
each issue of QEX covers two months). Only ARRL members will be able to 
download and print copies of the QST articles.

QST magazine is the official journal of ARRL, the national association for 
Amateur Radio. An interest in Amateur Radio is the only essential 
qualification of membership. ARRL membership is $39 per year in the US. For
