With 34 years in the hobby, I’ve read and subscribed to most of the ham-related magazines at one time or another – QST, QRP Quarterly, CQ, 73, etc.

All of them have something to offer in each issue but years ago (has it been 15?)

I am a recent subscriber to Monitoring Times magazine. The ham mags are nice but offer only a narrow slice of the radio topic. MT covers all aspects in a highly readable manner and is my source of information unobtainable elsewhere.

Today was a banner day at the mailbox: no bills and three magazines – a photography mag, QST and Monitoring Times. The cover of MT seemed familiar and a glimpse inside the 2nd page confirmed for me that it is Jim W1PID on the cover (I guess the wise editors at MT didn’t consider him centerfold material ;-) ).

On page 12 there is an article on ham radio activity from the Appalachian Trail by another author.

Check out MT here. For an email, they’ll send you a sample issue or you can download one here.
