Check your local newstand or magazine rack in stores, many carry QST.
You can purchase it without membership, or check you local library, they may carry it and you can read it for free. Popular Communications (Never met a radio they didn't like) CQ QST Monitoring Times These should be easily found at any decent newstand. Don't you have any bookstores there?? Borders? BDalton? BDK Better check your local book seller your self. Barnes & Noble and Books a Million around here and no QST. NO QST anywhere. CQ always did suck. Pop Comm--ditto--SUCKS. Monitoring Times is kinda OK. 73 & Ham Radio are gone. Guess Mother Earth News it is ;-( |

The great majority of hams are nice people and they sure do justify more than their hobby when there's an emergency. But why they think that SWLer's are interested in /their/ hobby still puzzles me. There are times when there are mutual interests. When a ham goes feral and starts broadcasting as a pirate and a felon, this can connect both hobbies and such as that makes me not want to just automatically killfool all the ham newsgroups. But look at this SUBJ: "Why you don't like the ARRL". And - of the four newsgroups - two are for SWLers and CBers. May I ask for as little more care when deciding to what many newsgroups one posts to?

Sadly, we don't always have much control over where messages are cross-posted, Gray. Since some Hams are CB'ers and others SWL's, the discussion itself may have actually started in one of those non-ham newsgroups. In other cases, it is trolls (in any one of the newsgroups) trying to belittle Ham radio and it's operators (posted to a number of newsgroups in an effort to get the widest possible audience for that). In still other cases, the discussion started in a ham radio newsgroup, with other newsgroups added by participants who mainly frequent those other newsgroups. Whatever the case, you're certainly not alone - we get our share of messages relating to other topics posted in the Ham radio newsgroups as well. Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ |

You may not be aware but HAMS operate on SHORTWAVE, so do CB
operators. Doesn't matter HF, VHF, UHF. Still shortwave. Gray Shockley wrote in message s.com...

JJ,
"Why you think hams are interested in what radios and antennas you use to SWL with is beyond me." Since this was Cross Posted to several NewsGroups: * rec.radio.amateur.policy, [ Amateur - HAM ] * rec.radio.amateur.misc, [ Amateur - HAM ] * rec.radio.shortwave, [ S H O R T W A V E ] * rec.radio.cb [ C B ] The Devil Is In The Details... So "GS" is simply communicating his 'status' as a SWL. The Question Every Amateur Must Ask Themselves is . . . Is Any Body ? ? ? L I S T E N I N G ? ? ? YES - But they may be a lowly SWL and You will Never Know; Unless the SWL sends the HAM a QCL Request and the HAM Replys in Kind. ? How many Amateurs Actively Seek QCL Reports form SWLs ? ? How many Amateurs 'send out' "QCL Cards" to the SWLs ? Exus Laxus Good Buddy ~ RHF Breaking-On-the-Low-Side - Can I Get a Radio Check ? QC? QC? BS! .. .. = = = JJ = = = wrote in message ...

In article ,
says... BDK Well, Barnes and Noble in upper Michigan does NOT carry it any more as B Dalton does not either. I'm now in central Florida and B & N and Books a Million NO GO. QST is not available everywhere and you might find it's not available in the Toledo area anymore. BDK wrote in message ... In article , says...

CQ and POPComm did always suck. 73, at least Wayne's editorial, was pretty weird. You can get QST all over the place around the Toledo/Detroit area. All the bookstores have it, a couple of drugstores have it, and I think at least one of the Meijer's has it too. BDK Hmm, well I saw it at one place last week, along with MT, CQ, and the scanner one, I can't think of the name. Leo's bookstore has them all, they used to have the British SW Magazine and Practical Wireless too, but not lately. I haven't been to B Dalton in a long time, but Barnes and Nobles had it a couple of months ago. I guess you will have to subscribe, it's cheaper than buying it anyway. BDK |
