Detoured by the PO box on the way to the airport this morning enroute to
the Los Angeles, CA, area for the week. And there between the QSL bureau
card envelope and the latest Fair Radio catalog was the latest issue of
QST.
Stopped by Jun's Electronics in Culver City, CA, for a few goodies on the
way to the motel and noted that they already had this issue on the shelf.
