Hi Ria, I’ve told ODV more and earlier than general audiences, but it’s not secret. I didn’t want to promise more until the project matured. As you can imagine, rolling out a new magazine requires lots of effort across many different functions— editorial, design, advertising, marketing, membership ... You can tell people about it, but we will also put out specific info in a month or so. This is a big deal and we need to make a splash. 73, Howard, WB2ITX Howard E.

So did I get an advance copy as ODV? Or is this already in public release?

You can do the same. We will have a big PR push when we get closer, probably in December after we go to press. Here are some details you can release. It will be a member benefit (no additional charge) to receive it in digital form. Members will have the option of selecting either OTA or QST in print. We may offer the option to get both in print depending on demand. OTA will come out bi-monthly. The content will be a 2-3 year rolling content for new hams that you can start with any issue. After 2-3 years, members will probably change to QST, or I hope, to one of several mini-mags that we are in initial discussion at HQ. FYI, we are thinking NCJ beefed up to radio sport, QEX, EmComm. But these are just initial thoughts. Let’s see how OTA goes. 73, Howard Howard E.

Is this public or just for a select few? I would like to spread the word to my division.
