Re: [Elecraft] Has the KX3 rescued Ham radio? Now: Recycling ham periodicals

[Jim Lowman]

It's an excellent idea.  When I go to the doctor or dentist, I'd swear 
that he saw only women and children as patients.


I hate to recycle ham magazines, but no one wants them; not the library 
or the local club, which had to call a halt to donations after getting a 
dozen or more each month.


Now that QST is available online to ARRL members, I'm not saving them 
after reading.  I've also gone full-digital on the CQ subscription.
QRP ARCI is working on having a digital edition available.  After buying 
their "30 Years" DVD, I gave my surplus copies to a ham in the San Diego 
area.

little thing have a big influence.

Our local library has a huge donation box for books and magazines just
inside the front door.  I don't even ask if they want them :-).  I just
toss my QSTs and CQs in the box and hope for the best - that they will get
to someone who will read them.
