[QCWA] Assoc. Membership ...

[VE3JX]

Greetings all,

The idea of a PDF Journal is one that deserves more thought.  It could be 
quite beneficial to QCWA.

One aspect that just came to mind is this:

DX members, including Canadians, can opt for a membership without 
publications.  Such a membership is obviously cheaper than one with the 
Journal.  The reason that they have this option is due to the high cost of 
postage going to non-US addresses.

With a PDF or electronic version of the Journal available, the "Membership 
without Pubs" could be eliminated.  DX members would be paying more, but now 
they would be "in the loop" with the reception of the Journal.  With an 
electronic Journal, DX members could pay dues that are on par with their US 
counterparts.

Also, the Journal, in its electronic format, could become a full-color 
magazine throughout its contents.

On the downside, the lower volume of the print Journal may raise its 
per-copy price.

Just a couple of thoughts.

Cheers,

Dave.
