I'm not an ARRL fan, so I don't know about what QST is doing right now,
but we won't get into that.

The only way I will subscribe to a "digital magazine" is if it's a DRM-
free PDF file (like K9YA is).


The digital QST requires you enter your call an ARRL password the first
time you open it.. So that's a form of DRM I'd guess. Though it's easy
to get around You can make copies, (or download the same edition 20
times if you like) but you have to "Authorize" each copy by entering
your call and password.

I am going to go digital only .. This, however, is because of how I live
(For a picture of my house QRZ my call) Paper editions cost me money.
Digital does not.
