All good points, but the real issue, IMO,  is the decline in substantive
content.  CQ's slope in this respect has been as steep as QST's, but they
also started from a lower general level.  At least QST's product reviews
have some integrity... The dumbing down at CQ finally reached the point
where I cancelled my subscription and threw away all the back issues (after
pulling the major contest results.  
I wonder if, at some point, CQ, CQ Contest, CQ VHF and Communications
Quarterly will merge back into one mag.  With appropriate chaff removal,
*that* would be a product worth reading!
