[SCCC] Missing CQ Mags??

[w6ph at aol.com]

It is not a mystery that CQ Publishing has financial problems.  Sending individual copies to subscribers costs a lot of money.  Sending a bundle to HRO costs far less.  That may be the reason.

Kind of POs me since both issues were at HRO-Anaheim yesterday 
(although I didn't buy the Jan issue, just the VERY-LATE December 
issue). Makes me wonder whether CQ is trying to garner more revenue 
by selling subscriptions at bargain prices, then not delivering the 
paper rags within a reasonable time period and forcing contesters to 
buy the mag from the local magazine stand just to see how low they 
placed last year (and then finding the results are only online 
anyway) 8-D I'm of the old-school and still like to flip pages on my 
paper reading material, and even fall asleep with the mag open on my 
chest. An e-version just doesn't cut it for me (even if I have no use 
for the rag after a year or so and just toss them out).

Still looking for someone around here with a TS890S... I don't wanta 
be the first wit one, but maybe that's how it'll turn out...  8-/
