There are two reasons that I'd like to access the digital edition of 
QST.  First I could read it before my friends get their print copy in 
the mail.  Secondly, I could look at the adds.  With NLS magazines, we 
have to weight a good six weeks to get our digital audio copy after the 
magazine is released.
