YES QEX MAGAZINE IS A RIP OFF CONSIDERING THAT YOU GET 6 ISSUES AND
WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THE MAILING COSTS ITS A HUGE PRICE TO PAY FOR A
FEW ARTICLES. I HATED RENEWING MY SUBSCRIPTION BECAUSE I SINCERELY
BELIEVE EVERYTHING IN QEX COULD BE PLACED IN QST.

Greg, I believe it SHOULD be placed in QST. QEX was nothing more than an effort to get us old timers to BUY another magazine. It HAS to be more costly to produce QEX as opposed to including the articles in QST. Seems to me they're boiling QST down and what's left isn't the best part... some of the recent articles sure make that obvious. When I was a beginner there were plenty of articles WAY over my head in QST. Now, there is little there I want to read. Too bad they can't be RE-combined to make ONE better magazine.
