May 2022 issue of QST

Here is the text of an email received from the ARRL on April 6, 2022:

The May 2022 issue of QST was received here on the island on April 11, 2022.  And the paper is noticeable at once as different from normal.  It's kind of like a hometown newsletter that has been printed on a color laser copier or inkjet printer.  The cover paper still has the smooth, glossy, "slick" finish but the inside pages are rough to the touch and have a bleedy appearance.

It's not horrible but hopefully just a temporary thing until more suitable paper is found.  As I recall magazines used to be divided into the "slicks" (like Life magazine) and the "pulps" (like science fiction magazines) - the May 2022 QST is kind of between those two extremes.

On a happier note the ARRL cutover to their latest web site seems to have gone well.  At least my favorite link to the Periodicals Archive and Search

still works. Sometimes a web site revamp will create a lot of dead links.
