QST
QST magazine is the newsletter of the American Radio Relay League otherwise known as the ARRL. This is the original US Amateur Radio club (HAM radio) which was founded in 1914 by Hiram Percy Maxim W1AW.
QST started publication in December 1915 though it ceased during WWI. May 1919, it resumed and has been a monthly publication ever since!
When I got my license in 1982, a local ham gave me an almost complete collection of QST from May 1962 up to January 1982. This gave me a big boost in learning and finding cool projects to build! Over the years I would find older QST magazines at hamfests and would often pick them up for little of nothing.
Well, after buying a box of 1930s QSTs recently as well as another box Saturday, I've figured out what I have and don't have and made a list.
-------------------------------------------------
QST want list
All before Sept 1929 (I'm not expecting much here) *WINK*
........................
1940 May through December

--------------------------------------
I believe I have 2005 to the present, but they are scattered around the house and will take time to gather.
Anyhow, this is mostly a post for my reference, but if anyone has some QST magazines that are in my want list and are willing to let them go, give me a shout! I'll be willing to pay a reasonable price for the 1930s ones ^_^
Thanks!
EDIT: Found a complete set of 2002 and 2003 hiding under the bed :P
EDIT: Started sorting 2005 to 2010
