Agree with that ,although ARRL members should have a choice.
If they prefer QEX over QST they should have that option.
ARRL news is sent weekly by e-mail upon request .Moreover, members can
access QST articles via the ARRL web site, and also can access QEX
articles.

Living in the UK I have opted for the annual CD-ROM ,which is published in
March ,including QST , QEX and the Contest Mag. covering the past calendar
year ,which suits me fine.
However I believe this option is not available to US residents .
Perhaps something to go for.

The ARRL derrives a lot of income from the QST
advertisements. Decreased circulation numbers would cost
them revenue. I'm sure the answer would be increasing
the circulation figures for QEX, and making up the revenue
there, but the logistics might be too great. That's why the
QSTs are delivered on a timely basis stateside; stale 12
month old adds delivered by CD won't make the advertisers
happy. I've complained about this in the past (dumbing down
of QST) and was told that they are serving the majority
of the membership with the current content.

Anyway, I feel I might have hijacked Jimmies' thread, and
I'll stop posting with this last comment.
