    Okay - I give up. What are they?

    Statements like that with no data to back them up are pretty worthless. 

Cheers,

Duh, yes, but there's this little difference between CQ and QST.  CQ is a
business and does what makes business sense.  QST is the MEMBERSHIP
journal of a radio club, and ought to be doing what the MEMBERSHIP (not
the business manager) wants.

With all kind regards,
