I've been able to subscribe to "QST" and "CQ", but can't find "ham Radio
magazine", "73 magazine" or "Communications Quarterly" addresses anywhere
.. Do they still exist? Are there any new magazines other than the ab
ove that I should consider, especially technical ones? My interest is m
ostly antenna designing, receiver designing, and contesting.

"Ham Radio" magazine stopped publication in 1990, "Ham Radio
Horizons shortly before that. They were sold to CQ Communications.
CQ - for a while - published some remnants from HR called
"Communications Quarterly" (a quarterly periodical).

The first 22 years of publication of "Ham Radio" is available on a
3-disc CD set for $150 from CQ and resold by the ARRL. Stuff
in there is still 'meatier' than in QST and most QEX issues.

"Commquart" merged with QEX a few years ago.

"73" magazine ceased a few years ago. The independent periodicals
(i.e., non-ARRL supported) existed on advertising space sales and the
competition (such as from the newer "Popular Communications")
caused marketeers to go to larger demographic base magazines and
the big-chain ham equipment vendors' catalogs.
