QST April 2025

I downloaded the April 2025 issue of QST.  First I should mention that I don't really miss the paper copy.  One thing that would be nice is an email letting me know when the new issue is available - there are now four ARRL publications so there is a lot of website checking involved.  Yes, the ARRL sends out an email called: The Current:

The Current is nice but it's also a little tardy, The Current moves at the speed of Newington not near the speed of light :)

The first thing I noticed was the ad for DaVinci video editing software:

It seemed quite unusual for QST to have an ad for free video software.  At first I wondered if this was the April Fools article ?  Either the ARRL has good salespeople OR someone at Blackmagicdesign is a ham.

The second thing I noticed was an article by WB9LVI:

Dr. Steber was my advisor when I started at UWM.  I will say this: not sure what Dr. Steber taught in EE but the thing I learned from him was persistence.  He (like the other advisors) had set office hours but often when I'd go there his office door was closed and locked.  I didn't really need advice, I needed his approval for my upcoming class schedule.

The last thing was that I finally found the April Fools article:

The Gotham mention was a tip-off but I wasn't completely convinced until I punched the last item mentioned into a search engine :)
