ARRL is working on getting the digital version available.  How soon, who
knows.  The lack of advertising does not have to do with NLS incidentally.
It has to do with regulations for the right to get publications that cost
everyone else but free for us.

Hi;
Advance apologies but I'm one of those folks with their head in the clouds I
guess.  For the price of a screen reader if it comes up on my screen then I
should hear it.  THE whole notion that something won't work because the
program isn't compatible with a screen reader gives folks especially
employers a much to big excuse.  Practically speaking, I know there are
issues with pictures but there should be a work around.
More importantly I suspect that lots of people open qst and go looking for
what's on sale or what new products some company is trying to talk us into.
For better or worse as long as we rely on nls we will never be blesssed or
cursed with that material.
So much for my soap box for the afternoon.
Richard
