CQ COMMUNICATIONS ACQUIRES WORLDRADIO MAGAZINE

    (Hicksville, NY and Sacramento, CA, November 12, 2008) -- CQ
Communications, Inc. has acquired "WorldRadio" magazine, CQ Publisher
Dick Ross, K2MGA and "WorldRadio" Publisher Armond Noble, N6WR,
announced jointly today. CQ, based in Hicksville, New York, currently
publishes "CQ Amateur Radio, CQ VHF" and "Popular Communications"
magazines.
            "WorldRadio", based in Sacramento, California, has been
published monthly since July, 1971, with a primary focus on the human
side of ham radio. "CQ", a general-interest ham radio magazine best
known for its support of DXing and contesting, has been in print since
January, 1945.
            Armond Noble, N6WR, Publisher of "WorldRadio", said that at
the age of 74 the time had come for him to retire. "I wanted to be sure
that 'WorldRadio' found a good home, and that our readers would continue
to be served by an independent voice in amateur radio," Noble said.
            "CQ" Publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA, said, "'WorldRadio' has
filled an important niche in our hobby for nearly four decades. We
welcome "WorldRadio's" readers to the CQ family, and we look forward to
meeting their needs for many years to come."
            Current plans call for "WorldRadio" to continue to be
published online as part of the CQ family of magazines, with Editor
Nancy Kott, WZ8C, continuing in that position. "WorldRadio" subscribers
will also have their subscriptions transferred to "CQ" magazine. Readers
will be notified of details as plans are finalized.
