Pozdravljen Nermin!
Za tekoče leto sem dobil le 4 revije, potem pa ne duha in sluha o QST-jih.
Po povpraševanju na ARRL zakaj ni revij, sem dobil odgovor, da moram dodatno plačati razliko v ceni, s čimer se seveda nisem strinjal glede na vnaprej plačano
članarino z revijo. Očitno je, da v ARRL-ju nekaj ne štima, zato sem po več kot 20 letih sem letos zaključil z ARRL in QST.
Pa še nekaj izmenjav mailov med ARRL in mano:
Hi Radovan:
As of January 2024, the printed copy of International QST is an add on subscription to an ARRL membership. The cost is $36 per year.
your cost is $15 to receive the print QST until the end of your membership.
Please give us a call if you would like to add the printed copy of QST to your membership.
Thank you for contacting the ARRL!
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Dear ARRL HQ! Dol; 14. 3. 2024
Im still waiting for my printet QST magazines from November 2023 to Jun 2024 to arrive! As I understand from a email, the price has changed, so you want me to pay extra, for something I already paid for!!? It's not about the money, but decision from ARRL in my opinion is controversial. Im ARRL member for more than 20 years, and main reason was getting the printed QST magazine delivered to my home every month. Im also life time member of our S5 ZRS HAM society and QSL bureau.
Im very unhappy with the ARRL's procedures! No notification, no e-mail, no info, no QST in the mailbox.. As I said before, money is not the point, but ARRL decision not delivering printed QST in my opinion represents breach of the contract, and is also morally objectionable. I don't know what the practice is the USA, but here in the EU we are very unhappy about it!
My international membership expires in June 2024, It is ok, if the price has gone up for the next year, but you still owe me 8 of printed QST magazines, as I recived only 4 for all year payment!?
I will only renew my membership in june, if I get what you owe me, otherwise please cancel my ARRL membership and refund the difference of 8 printed QST..
Not only me, but many others in EU will finish with ARRL support after this fiasco!
73 Best regards!

Now it's up to you..

Seveda revij od nikoder, nekateri so tako kot ti dobili stare izvode za nazaj, kar jim je pač ostalo..
Glede na rastoče število članstva in HAM-ov v USA, ARRL-ju očitno ni več mar za EU člane.
Še en primer DL2RMM:
I meanwhile received 6 (older) issues of QST …. they sent me November‘23 to April‘24, but I did not get May/June or July’24 issues yet…. I think I‘m done with ARRL even though I‘m still a member until March‘25.

Se potem kdo čudi, da je ARRL imel hekerski napad na strežnike in lotw'?
