> |  no circumstances should a member give out their credit card      |
> |  numbers to someone trying to sell them QST."QST is the official  |
> |  membership journal of the ARRL and is not available to the       |
> |  general public from a magazine distributor or publishing house.  |
> |  Should you receive a call from the phony solicitor, Capodicasa   |
> |  asks that you try to get the solicitor's name and check the      |
> |  caller ID box, if one is installed, for the caller's number. The |
> |  information can be e-mailed to her at n1gzo@arrl.org, or you can |
> |  reach her at 860-594-0257.                                       |
