Jim, Mr. Hasegawa has acknowledged my letter and said he would make a further reply later. I was told he was on vacation so I haven't bugged him about it. Norm Fusaro reports that Mr. Hasegawa was friendly to him at Tokyo Ham Fair last weekend. Hope you're having a good Labor Day. 73, Dave K1ZZ ________________________________________ From: Boehner, James, N2ZZ Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2014 10:42 PM To: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ; arrl-odv Subject: Yaesu Dave, Is there any follow-up on this matter? ’73 de JIM N2ZZ From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 10:12 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:23180] Yaesu 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. Dave Sumner, K1ZZ
