A correction needs to be published to point out unsafe issues
illustrated by the cover shot. There are, however, no facts in evidence
that the girl was in danger. This was quite likely a posed shot with her
feet within inches of or on the ground, something for the photographer's
convenience.

Rob,
Agreed. However, rather than league bashing on this forum, I would encourage
every league member to contact their section mgr, division director, and
everyone they can think of in Newington. They have done a great disservice to
the safety of their members by promoting something like this.
Safety first,
Jim, W5QM

Subject: [TowerTalk] March QST cover
Has anyone else here seen the totally idiotic QST cover for the March issue?
If not take a look:

It is ridiculous in so many ways. If I were ARRL executive director
I'd call in the editors and tell them to start cleaning out their
desks. Another example of how QST is run now by completely
non-technical people.
