You can download all the above for free from the ARRL if you log in
with your member ID. With all the old QST's available on the web,
everyone ought to be a member!

I'll join the ARRL the day I can choose QEX over the QST
forced subscription that comes with the membership.

Have you ever thought of JOINING ARRL, and using your position as
a member to petition for this change?

Change is made by those who participate.

Agree with that ,although ARRL members should have a choice.
If they prefer QEX over QST they should have that option.
ARRL news is sent weekly by e-mail upon request .Moreover, members can
access QST articles via the ARRL web site, and also can access QEX articles.

Erm ... while I dislike contradicting you directly, I just tried to download a
QEX article, afer logging in to my ARRL.net account, and got the following:

: The ARRL Periodicals Archive and Search is both an index of articles and an archive of downloadable material. However, not everything in the index is available for download.
:
: The item you requested is not in the archive of downloadable information. This may be because:
:
: * Most QST material newer than 2005 is not available for download
: * QEX, NCJ and Ham Radio material is not available for download

I subscribe to QEX as well as QST, and really would like QEX to be downloadable.
I see in my future a letter to the Powers That Be.
