The bard-produced QST is a fine service and I take advantage of it myself. 
Perhaps the biggest drawback of it is that we don't receive the magazine 
until up to 2 months after sighted hams get it.  If it's possible to fix 
that problem with today's technology, why not go for it? The more we can be 
included in something being produced for those who can see, the better. 
IDevices are a good example.  Lou,  WA3MIX
