You may hear that Yaesu is very unhappy with the QST Product Review in September QST and that the company is sharply reducing its QST advertising. This will be apparent with the October issue; the usual three pages of Yaesu ads on pages 6-8 will contain a photo spread about the National Centennial Convention instead. The inside back cover is also affected.

If you have read the review you may well wonder why it has elicited such a strong reaction, since it is generally favorable.

I am in direct communication with Yaesu President Jun Hasegawa with regard to the matter.
