[Thursday] Easter and QST

[Randall Snow]

Happy Easter everyone,  I hope it was a good day all around despite the
current situation.  And of course I hope you and each of your families are
doing well and avoiding any virus concerns.  With any luck, we'll see the
end of this in a few weeks and I'll get to see all of your smiling faces
once again!

I was just on the ARRL website looking to see what the QST archive might
look like.  Unfortunately I didn't get to look at it as it's a members-only
benefit.  I was interested to see it just to weigh the value of preserving
all the printed copies that we have.  QST was the one that came to mind,
but I'm sure we have a few other similar publications.  With space being at
a premium, the probability that many of these are archived digitally, and
the incredibly low occasion that anyone is searching the historic copies,
I'm thinking that we either archive many of these in bulk, or start
recycling them.  I'm hoping a few of you have ARRL membership and can give
me an opinion on how complete and searchable the digital archive is.  The
same thing could be done with some of the other publications too, I simply
can't think of the names off hand.  If the archives are nearly complete,
and easily searchable, I think the answer is pretty simple.

Thanks,
Randy
