    Have fun playing Ham Radio Magazine Publisher! This time we take a cruise through the section of the dictionary that relates to ham radio magazines and all those myriad activities that take place to put QST in your hands every month. Put on your green eye-shade, sharpen that editor's pencil and have at it!

    Ward Silver, N0AX, is the author--among numerous other things--of the Amateur Radio Crossword Puzzler, which appears twice a month on the ARRL Web site. He can be reached by e-mail at n0ax@arrl.net.
