Re: [CQ-Contest] CQ Magazine

This is the sign of the times in the publishing world. There have been many non 
ham radio magazines that have gone all digital. Many more will do so in the 
future. I think it's the old timers are the ones that want paper copies because 
they are set in their ways. When the millennials who grew up in the digital 
world get older I bet paper magazines will go away like the dinosaurs.JeffSent

[CQ-Contest] CQ Magazine Gang.CQ Communications that publishes CQ Magazine is a 
small business.  They are current on the digital version but they have been 
having trouble finding reasonable printers.  They do not have the backing of a 
large organization such as ARRL who had had to raise member dues to keep 
putting out QST.  Remember CQ sponsors many of the top contests then provides 
space including all the line scores.  ARRL and QST stopped printing the line 
scores years ago.  I suggest that instead of dropping CQ contesters need to at 
least buy the digital version.The question is what happens to all the CQ WW 
contests if CQ goes out of business.  Efforts have tried to better fund CQ 
Communications over the past few years and were dropped due to the funds 
needed.  Support CQ to support our contests.73 Dave K4JRB  ex K5MDXRetired CQ
