I did not get my last 3 issues in the mail, and they replied to an email I sent them about a day later.   Maybe email might be worth a try?

I did not get my CQ calendar either so still waiting.

I tried the ARRL calendar for 2021 but did not like the small physical size and only 12 months.

It looks as if my $16.00 is a lost cause

Unless you want ham radio pictures and dates with HR events, there are various online websites where you can print out an 8-1/2 x 11 calendar. Free, besides a little printer ink and 12 sheets of paper.

"I tried the ARRL calendar for 2021 but did not like the small physical size and only 12 months."    You expect a longer year?   hi hi.

We received an answer to our email:

     " Thank you for calling regarding your calendar order.
We are still waiting for our shipment to arrive. Please let me know if you'd like a refund at this time."

So maybe there is/was a paper shortage like ARRL said delayed the last issue of QST?

I didn't renew my subscription, Never received a magazine on time..... Really chaps my hide when the advertised special is over before I receive the magazine. Must really upset the advertisers

I hope they figure it out

My guess is the only paper shortage CQ is experiencing is a shortage of that paper money is printed on. Most people have not received a paper magazine since August 2021. CQ posted a link for people to download them as PDF files. It is now March and I do not think anyone has received a January, February or March issue either. However, I get my QST on time. So even when QST was a little late, they have paper and continue to print.

So this isn't about a raw paper shortage. It seems to be about not having cash to pay vendors.

Look at the CQ Store on their website. They are out of most everything. Books and CDs are just not available to order. CDs are obviously not made of paper, so all of this is not about paper, in my opinion it is solely about money.

I don't understand why anyone would order anything from them at this point.

On a positive note, I did hear that CQ is shipping their 2021 calendars to those who ordered them.

Just need to order 2024 calendars in 2022. Then maybe you will get them in time.

By the same token, if I need to see equipment pictures, I just google photos of what ever rig I am interested and hang it over the free bank calendar I get every year. That way I am never disappointed. I hate payin money when I can get it free.
