Never, ever gonna happen. It's fairly crappy looking because of the DRM
wrapper that it comes in. But if they simply made it a PDF or HTML what
would keep you from sending it to 100,000 of your buddies?
No offense, OM, but I think we're getting off track he I don't think
DRM is the cause of the online edition of QST looking less-than-ideal.
I don't care what DRM the ARRL chooses: the issue for me is that the
online edition is just a page-by-page image of the printed version, and
I don't feel that this is a viable way to make QST available online.
