Posted - 13 Nov 2008 : 3:49:29 PM CQ COMMUNICATIONS ACQUIRES WORLDRADIO MAGAZINE (Hicksville, NY and Sacramento, CA, November 12, 2008) -- CQ Communications, Inc. has acquired "WorldRadio" magazine, CQ Publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA and "WorldRadio" Publisher Armond Noble, N6WR, announced jointly today. CQ, based in Hicksville, New York, currently publishes "CQ Amateur Radio, CQ VHF" and "Popular Communications" magazines. "WorldRadio", based in Sacramento, California, has been published monthly since July, 1971, with a primary focus on the human side of ham radio. "CQ", a general-interest ham radio magazine best known for its support of DXing and contesting, has been in print since January, 1945. Armond Noble, N6WR, Publisher of "WorldRadio", said that at the age of 74 the time had come for him to retire. "I wanted to be sure that 'WorldRadio' found a good home, and that our readers would continue to be served by an independent voice in amateur radio," Noble said. "CQ" Publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA, said, "'WorldRadio' has filled an important niche in our hobby for nearly four decades. We welcome "WorldRadio's" readers to the CQ family, and we look forward to meeting their needs for many years to come." Current plans call for "WorldRadio" to continue to be published online as part of the CQ family of magazines, with Editor Nancy Kott, WZ8C, continuing in that position. "WorldRadio" subscribers will also have their subscriptions transferred to "CQ" magazine. Readers will be notified of details as plans are finalized.
