As far as I know you will not find it in the stores. You have to get a
subscription or if you happen to have any friends involved in ham radio ask
them if there is going to be a hamfest in your area soon. At most of the
larger ham fests in the USA there seems to gennerally be a table set up with
lots of free literature and free copys of Nuts And Volts. You may also be
able to get a sample copy sent to you if you have a look around the Nuts And
Volts web site.
