    You Betcha! ;)

    Watch his YouTube channel for your answer.

    Because he's probably already read your post.

    Do the job perks include timely delivery of monthly CQ magazine issues?

    You're right, Ron. My misdirected post was meant as a bit of dark humor and not as an actual complaint. I think that most hams don't want to see CQ go the way of "73" and "Ham Radio" magazines.

    In all seriousness, I don't want to see CQ die. With all the damage that they've done to their reputation the last couple of years, though, I think they may now be too far gone to bring back. And I hope I'm wrong.

    I too hope they will prosper. I subscribe to CQ through electronic delivery. I like the paper magazine better, but the mail delivery here is not nearly as reliable as it is in the States.

    What did CQ do to screw up their reputation?

    From my perspective it was the months on end of failed delivery that has jaded my experience. Which is sad since I feel their product is otherwise superior.

    Like that post was...
    Moving on, my posts are not helpful
