The current issue of QST

ARRL make QST magazine available online

The ARRL's magazine QST (all issues - December 1915 to December 2004) are now available online as a free download for members.

With just a mouse click or two, ARRL members can now access the onlineQST magazine archive http://www.arrl.org/members-only/qqnsearch.html

This new benefit -- a service of the ARRL Technical Information Service (TIS) http://www.arrl.org/tis/ - provides PDF copies of all QST articles from December 1915 through December 2004, enabling members to view and print their favorite article, project and more.

For many years, the TIS has provided members with assistance researching ARRL periodicals and publications, as well as providing members and non-members with article reprints for a small fee. Access to the new online digital QST archive is free for ARRL members, and is for their personal use only - material in the archive may not be freely distributed or copied.

"Having access to every issue of QST through 2004 is absolutely incredible!" said ARRL Lab Manager Ed Hare, W1RFI.

"The best of the best of QST from every era is now at the fingertips of every ARRL member with a keyboard and an Internet connection. Members can research articles on any subject that interests them, or just browse the past issues. This will be a popular membership benefit that will be of special value to new and long-time hams alike.

"This valuable content will help radio amateurs who use QST as a technical resource - for projects, equipment 'hints and kinks' -- and for other research contributing to the advancement of the radio art. We know many hams will simply enjoy perusing these pages of history, too."

The ARRL Periodicals Archive and Search lists every article for QST from 1915 to the present, QEX from 1981 to the present, Ham Radio from 1968 to 1990 and NCJ from 1973 to the present (please note that beginning in 1998, each issue of QEX covers two months). Only ARRL members will be able to download and print copies of the QST articles.

QST magazine is the official journal of ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio. An interest in Amateur Radio is the only essential qualification of membership. ARRL membership is $39 per year in the US.
