hamfest calendar IS read, and some of the contests have been read, although in the pas thy the time they did so the contests were over, tha tight be better now that the lag time is much less. i hav enot found any actual articles that are not read. the only things omitted are advertisements and contest stuff that would deb irrelevant due to lag time. why bother to read about a contest that happened 3 weeks ago?
I believe els does an exceptional job of reading qst and the other magazines I listen to. I refuse to cal that reading though :) you read with your eyes or with your fingers not with your ears unless it is on a radio :)
