[CQ-Contest] CQ-Contest Scores

[Alan Zack]

The annual subscription to CQ Radio Amateur Journal Magazine is $32.00.  I also 
show I subscribe to CQ CONTEST Magazine by K3EST for $25.00 a year but haven't 
received a copy for awhile.  Are they still being published?  I think it is a 
quarterly magazine.  So that is $57.00 per year times how many others subscribe 
to these magazines.  Seems they could hire a data entry type person to post 
contest results on their web site several times a year part time.
Here is quote from their web site:
Our primary focus has always been on operating activities, including DXing and 
contesting, but construction projects and technical articles regularly find a 
home in CQ as well.
If their primary focus is on contesting then it seems they are not fulfilling 
their goals.
