QST, ARRL's Monthly Membership Journal
Simply put, QST is the best source of news and practical
information from the world of Amateur Radio. All hams, regardless
of license class or experience, will find it indispensable. ARRL
members get all this, and more, in each issue each month:
- Product Reviews: Comprehensive and readable reports
on the latest transceivers and accessories. Only QST product
reviews are based on painstaking field evaluation and careful
and comprehensive testing done in the ARRL Lab.
- Hints & Kinks: Clever and useful tips sent in by
QST readers who have found a better way to accomplish a
task or solve a problem. You never know what you'll find each
month, but you can be sure you'll find something useful to build,
buy or improvise.
- Feature articles cover all the fascinating aspects
of ham radio, from a DXpedition to a rare atoll to a personal
story of how a ham introduced her family to the wonders of her
favorite hobby, from a discussion of tower restrictions to a reminiscence
of the early days of ham radio.
- Written for beginners but enjoyed by nearly everyone, the
New Ham Companion section covers antennas, operating, safety,
and questions and answers from readers on any ham subject.
- Technical articles cover cutting-edge theory and practical
designs that will expand your Amateur Radio horizons.
- DXing and Contesting, two of the most popular on-the-air
activities, are featured prominently in each issue. The "How's
DX?" column provides profiles of well-known DXers and practical
tips on getting more out of your station. ARRL contests are enjoyable
ways of seeing how your station stacks up against others.
- Ham Ads and display ads are the best way to find a
piece of Amateur Radio gear, new or used, top shelf or bare bones.
Whether it's a new hand-held transceiver, a 20-meter beam or a
computer program that will get your code speed to 20 WPM, you'll
find it advertised in QST.
- Useful and Timely News from the FCC and the international
scene is featured in articles, and in columns such as DC Currents,
Happenings and Amateur Radio World. If it's happening, you'll
keep up-to-date with the information packed into every issue of
QST.

technical discussions-and much more!
