"Dwight Stewart" wrote Several years ago (four or five), QST was available at the Barnes and Noble bookstore in this area. But it then disappeared off the shelf and I haven't seen it since. At $4.99/mo ($59.88/yr) plus tax, I'm sure it wasn't a high volume business for Barnes and Noble, since that's a 53% premium over the membership dues, and you don't get the other benefits which comes with membership. Only an idiot would regularly buy QST from a news stand! There are circumstances that might require one to be an "idiot," Hans. In my case, I purchased it at the news stand because ARRL never seemed able to deliver my copy of the magazine (not fast enough to keep up with me). The first time I joined, my address changed several times in a single year. I joined at my home here. Two months later, I went elsewhere to prepare for our operations in Kosovo. Several months later, I went to Italy for the actual Kosovo conflict itself. Even though a change of address was sent with each move, I received only one issue of the magazine that year. The second year was pretty much the same as the first. I moved back to the USA, moved several months later, and finally ended up back here again two months after that. I got two issues of the magazine that year and didn't rejoin at the end of the year (and didn't make any effort to get the magazine for several years). I joined ARRL again this year and have gotten each copy of the magazine so far. Dwight Stewart (W5NET) http://www.qsl.net/w5net/ |
