POPULAR DATV MAGAZINE ENDS PUBLICATION

The digital amateur TV magazine known as CQ-DATV, has published its final issue. 

Geri Goodrich KF5KRN has that story.GERI: In a publishing lifetime that lasted for eight years with 100 issues, the amateur television magazine CQ-DATV filled a gap left by the demise of two earlier ATV magazines and had been widely read among enthusiasts. 

That era has ended with the publication of its latest - and last - issue, released in October. 

The production team's Trevor Brown G8CJS writes in this 100th issue: [quote] "All good things must come to an end and CQ-DATV is no exception." [endquote] 

The digital-only publication reports that it received more than 500,000 downloads during its lifetime and was welcomed by readers who had lost "Der TV Amateur," published in Germany and "Repeater" published in the Netherlands. 

CQ-DATV credits Ian Pawson G0FCT who introduced the magazine in 2013 as a digital publication and served as its editor. The magazine, which also became available as a PDF edition, is making all of its 100 issues available for download.
