VHF PLUS
wenty-five years ago this month, CQ Communications launched magazine (it’s hard to believe it’s been that long!). I was its editor. That magazine was the outgrowth of a plan to start a magazine for new hams, since then — as now — it was a challenge to get newlylicensed amateurs to look beyond their local repeaters. Our goal was to create a publication that focused on the privileges available to hams with Technician Class licenses, both in terms of practical tips for FM and repeater operation and in introducing the many into twice — first at the end of 1999 and again in 2013 after bringing it back as a quarterly in 2002.)
