I've been a life member of ARRL for about 10 years or so (so, my QST is
now "free" sort of).  I subscribed to QEX a little after it got going,
thinking I'd get more of a Ham Radio technically oriented publication.
I was very dissappointed, and let my subscription drop upon expiration.
QEX was more like "amateur elementary electronics".  The death of Mr. Fisk
(W1HR) at HR was sadly the end of good, consistant  technical amateur radio 
publication.  Alas.

P.S. - In a couple weeks it will be the 20th birthday of my WH6FON
       novice licence.  I knew you'd be thrilled to hear it. :-)
