I hope it's temporary.  It's like newspaper quality and the blead-thru is terrible;  hard to understand why this is thought to be easier to read, but I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.

I perused mine and took it to the radio club. I had a new ham sit next to me during the program night so I gave it to him. I will let him recycle it.

I'm delighted with the constructive responses here...I criticize the League when I think it constructively points out issues that a membership-driven (don't laugh) non-profit should do better at, etc. But this isn't something the ARRL can directly control through a policy change or more $$$ per se. It's a difference between the League's solvency and the well-noted financial issues that CQ has in it's print model.

I read all my ham radio mags digitally, at least first, the scan the print issue when it arrives later so I'm not phased by the lower quality paper.

Phased and confused?

The ARRL sent out an email explaining the paper change, temporary, due to availability. Thank a DC politician. At least they put it out, unlike CQ magazine, who can't seem to get any print issues out.
Funny that none of the numerous other magazines we get and see every month didn’t have that problem. I love it when organizations and politicians blame others as though we aren’t smart enough to figure out where the negligence is.
