[RTTY] CQ Magazine

[John Becker]

There is definitely something bad going on at CQ.

I had to request replacement copies of both the August and October
issues because the originals never arrived. I did receive the 
replacements, but never the originals.

I received TWO copies of the June issue a week or so apart.

The issues that have arrived recently have been showing up very late in
the month.

This was discussed at some length among members of NIDXA about a month 
ago, and these problems are widespread. One of our members who has a 
full set of issues dating from 1945 missed the August issue and by the 
time he called to request a replacement he was told they had none left.

When Ham Radio Magazine and 73 ceased publication, it happened abruptly 
with little to no advance notice. I hope CQ figures out a way to survive!

73,
