CQ Magazine Publication “Temporarily Suspended”

CQ Communications, Inc. has suspended publication of its CQ magazine according to a message sent from Editor Rich Moseson, W2VU.

In a message circulating on some mailing lists, a reply to an inquiry was screen captured (below) and explains that due to funding issues they have “temporarily suspended publication at this time”.

Thanks for checking in. Unfortunately, CQ has temporarily suspended publication at this time. We are working very hard to secure the necessary funding to resume operations but until we can make those arrangements, everything is unfortunately on hold.

Our apologies for this inconvenience and we hope to be back up and running soon.

It is unknown exactly what funding issues the magazine has encountered, but CQ Communications, Inc. has discontinued other publications within their operation over the last few years. CQ-DATV ceased its free online publication in 2021. CQ VHF ceased publication in 2013 along with Popular Communications magazine and merged with WorldRadio into an online digital Publication in 2014.

We’ll have more on this developing story as it becomes available.
