I agree on QST and advertising advertising more then any one person can stand but as far as great articles are concerned World Radio is doing a great job with a newsprint type mag. They have interesting and well done story's. I talked to the editor about an AM and BA Section. Her reply was great lets do it... Well guess what folks it takes folks that want to write. I am not a writer as can be seen here. If we have someone that wants to step up and do a monthly they are very open to it..
This Mag is a low cost well done Magazine. I have been taking it for 3 years now and read it and its sister mag MILITARY cover to cover monthly. Advertising is a big part of it but well done small company's jthat can afford B&W Adds... Bob W1PE -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M. K. Hess Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 4:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AMRadio] QST, Tubes, et. al.. Well it's simple guys. Do any of their advertisers sell tube rigs? Of course there's no incentive to discuss home-brew, old radios, AM, or the like. They can't sell ad space for that! Why get the community interested in something that will not generate revenue for the advertisers? As a matter of fact, let's steer folks away from any thought of doing anything other than going 100% appliance, and promoting the "latest and greatest" techno-wiz-bang, to help those sales! I'm a life member of the ARRL, but QST is a total joke, their opinions and practices often aggravate me, But they're the only show in town, sadly. They remind me more of the NRA every day. In it to generate revenue for themselves, and not really very interested in the reality or base of the hobby. Well folks, next time there's an election, vote out the old regime, and get folks in that better suit your tastes! That's my plan! Now, back to the AM program in progress!
