Hi Wes,
You can still get QST in printed form which is what I do and when you
factor in inflation membership that includes the printed version of QST
costs just slightly more than it did 20 years ago and membership without
the printed version of QST is actually cheaper than it was 20 years ago.
The big mistake that the ARRL made was not raising dues each year to keep
up with inflation but we best get back on topic.
