QST, Your Monthly Membership Journal
QST is simply the source for news and information on any topic that's part of, or relates to, Amateur Radio. Here's some of what you'll find every month:
- Informative and hard-hitting Product Reviews of the newest radios and accessories from hand-held and mobile FM radios, to home-station transceivers, antennas and even shortwave radios.
- Advertisements. You'll find everything from full-color pages introducing new radios to a large classified ad section.
- Each month's Coming Conventions and Hamfest Calendar columns show you who's getting together every month at hamfests, conventions and swapmeets in your area.
Whether you're interested in contesting, DXing, or radios, accessories and antennas you can build at home, QST covers them all: New trends and the latest technology, fiction, humor, news, club activities, rules and regulations, special events, packet radio, and much more.

Technical Information Service (TIS)
The Technical Information Service (tis@arrl.org) has been around for a long time, but, thanks to the addition of new staff, it has an all new face! Questions on topics ranging from A (antennas) to Z (Zener diodes), and just about anything in between, are answered by expert ARRL Technical Coordinators and Technical Specialists in the field and at ARRL Headquarters. Our Headquarters technical staff will help you over the phone, refer you to a volunteer ARRL Technical Specialist in your area, or send you the needed information from a growing collection of information packages. For really difficult questions, one of our Laboratory Engineers will research our technical library and send you an answer by postal or electronic mail.
