First choice for dedicated VHF to microwave operators			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
A really in-depth and sophisticated magazine for the serious VHF/UHF/SHF amateur. I have been reading it with pleasure for over 40 years now. Unbeatable!

well worth it great idea's ...			Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
its really good i won a years subscription to this mag at a ham fest only a cause 2m operator. it got me excited some great article about sporadic e's antenna design and even micro wave which i have no interest in but now understand. now i love my 6m dx along with hf dx but for some reason 6m dx is more satisfying. a good journal and reference source with out trawling the web.

Exception magazine that covers VHF/UHF topics			Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I recently received the last three issues of this fine magazine. The articles are thoughtful and well-presented. I appreciate that fact that both English and German translations appear for each article that appears in each issue. This magazine is a level above the US-based CQ VHF because of the high technical and scientific content. I especially like the editor's articles on Sporadic-E, a field that I am involved in.

Best there is!			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
If you are into VHF/UHF operation (non-FM or APRS) this is the best magazine by far. The articles in it are written at a high level, but are still interesting. They are informative and make you think, not like some of the other dumbed downed publications in the US. I look forward to every issue and read them cover to cover. They also have nice columns on VHF activity in Japan, VK/ZL, South America, North America, and Europe so you truely get a worldwide perspective on VHF/UHF operations. There are also separate columns for EME, Meteor Scatter and Tropo showing how specialized this publication is. If you are really into VHF/UHF operations this is the magazine for you! You will learn something new from every issue. 73s John AA5JG

Top best VUSHF magazine			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Hi, It is the best VUShf bands magazine. Has a lot of state of the art articles, projects, bands activity, from 2/6 meters tropo up to 249 Ghz, EME, FAI, Meteor Scatter, Aurora, etc. Information from all parts of the world, plus beacons list, high tech advertisements, news, etc. The best information source for begginers and specialist. A "must" for the VUShfer. 73, Max - EA1DDO/HK1DX

The cream of the crop			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Dubus is the cream of the crop in technical and building magazines, irrespective of its limitation to VHF+ interests. It is available in the U.S. through the good offices of Kent Britain, KB5UBE via his QRZ.com email address. Published four times a year, I regularly read it from cover to cover. I never fail to learn something new and with its world-wide perspective, I see the best work from hams in Europe, North America, Japan, elsewhere. Matjaz Vidmar, Michael Kuhne, Kent Britain, Johnathan Naylor, Paul Wade, and many many other great contributors are regulars. It is a must for the VHF enthusiast. Published in Germany, every article is in German and English. The English translations are excellent.

Nothing comes close			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have been reading DUBUS on and off for about twenty years, although only subscribed relatively recently. DUBUS is not a magazing for the casual operator, or for the appliance operator, so only about 1% of amateurs will appreciate it. However for that 1% it is invaluable. It always strives to be state of the art, and with contributers like DB6NT what else can it be ? The only other magazing that comes close if VHF Communications (UKW-Berichte) but that lacks the activity listings and seems a little less cutting edge, at least to me. DUBUS is very biased towards European operation but that is only fair since Europe is probably the place to be for V/U/SHF activity, and Germany is probably the centre of that activity. It is only right and proper that DUBUS (and UKW-Berichte) are produced there.

Excellent VHF/UHF magazine			Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
This is an excellent VHF/UHF magazine, based on the last year of issues which is the only ones I have seen. It is written at a high level, much above QST, Worldradio, or CQ, but is still very understandable. Probably like a combination of QEX and NCJ for VHF. Contains excellent information on all frequencies above 50mhz, including the upper microwaves, and it is neat to see that people are actually playing up there. It is also nice to read a European perspective to amateur radio. You quickly realize that the proportion of EU hams on VHF/UHF greatly outnumbers the proportion in the US. After reading an issue of DUBUS, I feel like selling all my HF gear and getting a 1296mhz radio. If you are really curious about VHF/UHF propogation, equipment, and operating, this magazine is highly recommended.

North American Perspective			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Out of all the amateur magazines that I subscribe to, I look forward to reading DUBUS the most. The technical articles are of the highest caliber and the activity reports are exciting. When I puruse this journal, I feel that I am vicariously living the life of a European weak signal operator. The interest level in VHF DXing seems to be much higher there than in the US. I've read many accounts that were exclusive to DUBUS and not found anywhere else including the internet.

Most intersting für 6m, 2, 70cm and Microwaves			Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have DUBUS since 1978 and always enjoyed it. One year ago DUBUS got a new publisher and improvements are going on. Please remember that DUBUS is a non profit making magazine made by hams in their free time. So I would prefer not to complain about these not very important items like layout, index etc. BTW there is a CD available with a complete index of all DUBUS`s technical articles. 73 Alex
