==> ARRL PRESENTS NEW MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT 

With just a mouse click or two, ARRL members can now access the online QST
magazine archive <http://www.arrl.org/members-only/qqnsearch.html>.
This new benefit -- a service of the ARRL Technical Information Service
(TIS) <http://www.arrl.org/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, and is for their personal use only -- material in the
archive may not be freely distributed or copied.

"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.
