 When hams gripe about how QST has been dumbed down so much in the
...
  technical and project regions, it is amazing to find
out how many _do_not_

  know about QEX. The whole point of the QST split
(old QST -> new QST and
...
  QEX) was to make everyone happy - one magazine for
average Joe Ham, and
...
  one for the hardcore project-building hams. The ARRL
seems to be very bad
...
  at marketing the magazine.
