The January edition of Digital QST on the new PageSuite platform is now available[1]. Log in with your ARRL website user name and password. The new viewing platform brings a number of changes, so members are advised to download and read the QST PageSuite Manual[2].

If you view Digital QST on an Apple smartphone or tablet, update your current QST app. In the App Store app, tap the Updates icon in the menu along the bottom, scroll until you see the QST app and then tap UPDATE. This will overwrite the previous app with the PageSuite version.

If you are an Android user, you will also need to update your current QST app.

Finally, Kindle Fire users will be pleased to learn that there is a now a QST app for their device. Search for the QST app in the Kindle Fire app store.

Starting with the January 2017 edition of QST, issues available for download will be smaller in file size to take up less storage space on your mobile device. Please note that updating to the new PageSuite app will clear your device of all downloaded issues that you may have accumulated previously.

To help ease the transition for app users, the log-in function has been temporarily disabled. When it is re-enabled, you will need to log in with the same user name and password that you use to log into the ARRL website.

ÿ. . . and much more! ÿ ÿ
