[NLRS] CQ VHF

[Scott Blixt]

Thought this might be of some intrest:

* CQ VHF to return as a quarterly: CQ VHF will resume publication this
spring as a quarterly magazine, publisher Richard Ross announced today. The
magazine ceased publication in 1999. Longtime CQ magazine "VHF-Plus" Editor
Joe Lynch, N6CL, will be editor of the new quarterly. The first issue is due
out in May. In announcing the publication's return, CQ Communications noted
that the "overwhelming majority" of US hams have license privileges that
primarily permit operation above 50 MHz. "However, the prime focus of the
current ham magazines remains HF," CQ Communications said in a news release
announcing the change. CQ Communications said the revived CQ VHF was
designed with marketplace realities in mind and "will rely primarily on
subscription revenues to meet expenses." CQ Communications said CQ VHF "will
retain the friendly, conversational, look and feel of the original, but its
technical content will be somewhat higher-level." A subscription will be $25
per year in the US.
