Hi this is Brian Sackrider
n8mnx and qst is finally up on bard it's still a month behind but that’s an 
improvement it use to be 2 months behind it is about the only magazine that 
is late on bard and it's still not the entire text of the print addission 
there still several articles that nls chooses to omit for some reason this 
is very wrong and very discriminatory to the blind but most of the blind 
community just can't or won't see it for what it is.  we chould have the 
same access to the same information as our sighted peers.   This is very 
unexeptable that we get our qst more than a month after the sight do it's 
just old news what people are talking about of the ham radio we can't talk 
about because we don't get it until a month or so.  If the reason that 
certain articles are omited by nls is really due to the coppy rite laws than 
we chould work to get them changed but I think that this is not not the case 
as I understand it nls does have the permission to reproduce theese 
meterials in a specialized format for the exclusive use of it's readers if 
that’s true then this does cover reading the entire text of the print 
addission.  How would sighted hams feel if their qst was a month or more 
behind and there was a note on it theese articles were omited by instruction 
of the us postal service? Come on and wake up folks and smell the coffee I 
guess that the blind community really enjoy being discriminated against and 
taken advantaged of I don't don't I try to advocate for change but theblind 
community does not really care they refuse to advocate for anything that 
effects the blind community at all I try to make a differense and advocate 
for the needs we have like access to the same information as the sighted and 
at a reasonable time and I also advocate for braille when ever possible I 
always let companies know that Ialways preferbraille over audio just like 
the sighted prefer print over audio qst in braille anyone I will keep up the 
fight even if iI have to fight allone. If I find something that I feel is 
unacceptable then I will speek up about it and it't high time that the blind 
community started doing the same. 73 n8mnx
