A stop by the PO box this morning on the way to work rewarded me with a
new fishing magazine and an envelope from ARRL HQ with the latest NCJ.
I had called ARRL HQ last week to renew my NCJ subscription and inquired
about the status of the Mar/Apr issue. When informed that it had been
out for several weeks, I requested another copy since my 1st Class
subscription copy had not arrived yet. I have subsequently checked with
two other local subscribers and they have not received their Mar/Apr
issue either.
Front cover photo of what looks like a station from the 40s or 50s but
with the caption "WB6FZH/KH6 QRP 1997 ARRL 160M Contest"! No further
details anywhere inside.
