Default ARRL drops the other shoe on print version of QST

"Bill Horne" wrote

From what I've seen of the online edition, it looks like the pdf file that
was sent to the printer to make the paper-and-ink version. The articles
are shown in page-image format, which means that each page appears as it
would if I were holding the paper-and-ink version open, but with the lower
2/3 of each page obscured. I have to page down to the bottom of one
column, go back to the top, go down to the bottom of the second, etc.


When I first open the digital edition, the "magazine" shows up in FULL on my
15.6" laptop screen. That is, I see two full pages side by side. The print
size, however, is awfully small, so I have to enlarge it. To do that I click
on the page, it instantly grows to readable size. Holding down the left
button of my mouse, I can move the page around as necessary. Is that ideal?
Heck no. But it works, and it seems to be the simplest way. Still, I *much*
prefer the printed magazine regardless how well QST [ever] presents their
digital version.
