Welcome to the website of CQ Amateur Radio magazine!
CQ is the world's leading independent magazine devoted to amateur radio. For more than a half-century, CQ has been on ham radio's leading edge -- the first to promote mobile operating (in the 1950s), semiconductors (in the 1960s) and packet radio -- the original e-mail (in the 1980s). The amateur satellite program got its start with an idea in the pages of CQ! Our primary focus has always been on operating activities, including DXing and contesting, but construction projects and technical articles regularly find a home in CQ as well.
CQ's
greatest strength has always been in its regular columns. Today's lineup
includes: In addition, CQ sponsors a wide variety of operating awards and on-air contests, and publishes a broad range of amateur radio books, videos and other products, all of which may be ordered online. You may also subscribe to CQ online. While CQ has a worldwide readership of its English-language edition, we have special arrangements with a publisher in Spain to publish CQ Radio Amateur in Spanish. This magazine features translations of articles from the English-language edition of CQ, along with locally-written features and columns, giving each magazine a distinctive personality and a special focus on the country where it is published. CQ's publisher, CQ Communications, Inc., also publishes these companion magazines for the radio hobbyist: CQ VHF is a quarterly magazine dedicated to “Ham Radio Above 50 MHz.” The magazine focuses on all aspects of VHF and UHF amateur radio. Its technical content is aimed primarily at the experienced VHFer, although there is also plenty of material appropriate for the new ham. Originally published as a monthly for four years from 1996-1999, CQ VHF returned as a quarterly in the spring of 2002, in response to ongoing reader demand.
