I agree that the editor should make certain the articles are well written. But that's a lot of work for one person. We really need to have a pool of reviewers. Not sure how to make that happen.
I also would be happy to pay more and did until they dropped technical articles from QST. At that point I asked to get QEX instead of QST which was of no interest other than the ads.
ARRL does not want to recognize the list or operate an alternative. Kai and other ARRL staff are aware of the list and both insisted on the disclaimer on the home page without ever looking at what I had written before I contacted them.
Have Fun!

That explanation agrees with my thoughts, but editorship should insure that the articles are precise, concise and clearly written.
I personally would pay more to have the ¡°full¡± articles appear in the magazine. However, my views apear to be unpopular. I recall making a similar argument to Kai when it was decided to issue the publication with thinner covers. I lost the argument.
A notice about this group should probably appear in the magazine. I¡¯m not sure hiw to accomplish that. Perhaps an enail to the current editor would suffice. Hm.. I should do that once I get my computer back up and running.
BTW, thank you for creating the group.
