CQ to realign publications

CQ Communications, Inc. has announced plans to realign its roster of
publications and to launch an exciting new online supplement to its
flagship magazine, *CQ Amateur Radio*.

"The hobby radio market is changing," said CQ Communications President and
Publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA, "and we are changing what we do and how we do
it in order to continue providing leadership to all segments of the radio
hobby." CQ Communications is currently the only publisher in the United
States serving the broad radio hobby, from broadcast band DXing to amateur
radio moonbounce and satellite communications. CQ itself has been amateur
radio's leading independent voice for seven decades.

Effective with the February 2014 issue of CQ, said Ross, content from the
magazine's three sister publications, Popular Communications, CQ VHF and
WorldRadio Online, will be incorporated into CQ's digital edition as a
supplement to be called "CQ Plus." With this change, hobby radio
enthusiasts of all types will be able to go to a single source - CQ - for
articles on the broader aspects of hobby radio, from shortwave listening
and scanner monitoring to personal two-way services and Internet radio, as
well as amateur radio. Richard Fisher, KI6SN, currently Editor of both
Popular Communications and WorldRadio Online, will be Editor of CQ Plus.

"Our primary audience is ham radio operators," explained Ross, "but very
few hams began their radio involvement as amateurs. Most of us started out
as shortwave listeners, broadcast band DXers, CBers or scanning
enthusiasts. Many continue to be involved in many different aspects of the
radio hobby in addition to amateur radio."

"By consolidating four specialized publications into one," Ross continued,
"we will be better able to keep these multidimensional readers informed on
all aspects of the radio hobby while simultaneously exposing those who are
not hams to all the excitement and opportunities that amateur radio has to
offer. We see this as a win-win for all of our readers and our advertisers,
who will now be able to reach a wider and more diverse audience."

The expanded material will be an integral part of the digital edition of
CQ, and will be included as part of a standard digital subscription. Each
month's digital edition will simply continue beyond where the print edition
ends, offering supplemental material on all aspects of hobby radio
communication and will include selected columns carried over from the other
magazines. The added digital content will make full use of the multimedia
opportunities presented by digital publications.

Current subscriptions to Popular Communications, CQ VHF and WorldRadio
Online will be converted to CQ subscriptions - and receive CQ Plus at no
additional charge! Details will be posted on each magazine website.

There's no need to wait to see the great variety of articles that will be
featured each month in the new CQand CQ Plus. A preview of the February
issue's Table of Contents is available right now on the CQ website at
