As many of you have heard, due to COVID and its related shipping and distribution problems, many businesses have had trouble getting paper to print their publications. Unfortunately, the ARRL is among them. Faced with the decision to delay publication of the May QST and other periodicals the League chose to use a lesser grade of paper to get the magazines out on time. So, yes the paper is flimsy and you can see the following pages print through the pages. Yes, it looks like an old Sears of Montgomery Wards catalog. But, I don't suggest secondary use as those catalog pages endured... :-) Please be patient and enjoy the magazines. As paper shipments improve the following issues will be back to the quality we have come to expect! 73, dale W5WI
