[CQ-Contest] NCJ circulation - Why decreasing?

[Eric Hall K9GY]

Hello All 

I was at a local hamfest today talking to an ARRL official about the 
changes for QST contest scores etc. I noticed they had NCJ subscription 
sheets on the table and I asked how the NCJ was doing...

The answer I got was that NCJ circulation is "dwindling." 

So my questions are: 
a) Why (as contesters) does it appear that we are not supporting 
our own publication that covers our favorite area of the hobby? 
b) If we aren't supporting NCJ, then how can we complain about 
the recent changes that the ARRL wants to do in regards to QST 
coverage of scores? 
c) Are we prepared for NCJ to some day bite the dust too? 

In my opinion, every contester (at least in the US) should be subscribed 
to NCJ...whether you read it or not...Furthermore, every contester should 
be a league member... 

73, Eric

Oh?  Why? 

I happen to subscribe, but have to admit some lapses.  Personally
I think it's a bit overpriced for what it delivers.

I agree (or their own national association if they aren't in the US), 
and suggest that it shouldn't be limited to contest operators.

With all kind wishes,
