Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal out there,
sometimes just a little cheaper, but always you get the lowest rates
without having to shop around. With 1,500 titles on their list, they
would like to think that they have also the best selection around!
Within the USA, for their USA customers, they are cheaper than all their
competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price
guarantee. The 1 yr. freebie that you get with your first order is
completely free!
Overseas, (even after you factor in the cost of the FPH (foreign postage &
handling) and the conversion from USA Dollars to your currency), on the
average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the
newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they
are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They are also
the cheapest subscription source for delivery overseas, including directly
from the publishers themselves! Some publishers don't even offer
subscriptions overseas.........but overseas subscriptions are this
company's specialty! They feel that magazines should not be a luxury
overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after
reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the
USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their
overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the
USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! It is also *highly
unlikely* you will find any of their USA competitors calling you overseas,
in order to offer that personal touch, just to sell you a couple of
magazines! But that is what this company specializes in and loves doing!
Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very
patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language.
Subscription prices quoted for overseas consist of the subscription price,
plus the FPH. You add the two together and that is your total cost. The
exception is the 1 yr. freebie you get with your first order. On that
title, you pay *only* the FPH for the 1 yr. term.
Their prices are so cheap because when you deal with them, you cut-out all
the middlemen.
HERE IS HOW YOU CAN GET MORE INFO AND GET STARTED WITH THEM:
Simply fax or smail back to us the reply form listed at the top of this
message. We will then forward your form on to the subscription agency.
They will then email their "big and juicy" catalogue to you, in whichever
of the four formats you chose. The catalogue is FREE and makes for hours
of fascinating reading, on its own. It includes the complete list of
freebies, a complete list of all the titles they sell, as well as detailed
descriptions on most of the titles, along with lists of titles by category
of interest and their terms of sale.
They will then give you a friendly, no-pressure, no obligation, 5-minute
call to go over how they work and to answer any questions that you might
have, as well as give you up-to-the minute price quotes on any titles you
might be considering. They will call you in whatever country you live
in, taking the time difference into account. As they like to
emphasize the personal touch they give to each new customer, all first-time
orders can only be done via phone, so they can answer all your questions
completely and personally. Once you have placed your first order via
phone, you will be able to place future orders and make inquiries on your
account, get price quotes, etc., all via email, if that is most convenient
for you.
Within the USA, they accept payment via check over the phone, Mastercard,
Visa and American Express. Overseas, they accept Mastercard, Visa and
American Express, even if your credit card is a local one in local currency!
That's our introduction of our client that we represent. We hope that we
have piqued your interest and that you will take the next step to get their
free catalogue! Thank you for your time and interest.

Hehe. Don't bother replying, folks, it's a troll.
A real RF devotee would use the Internet explosion as a capability baseline
in order to promote the development of ever more capable RF networks. There
is no future in defending a hilariously inadequate and antiquated RF system
through protectionist policies like "keep out the Internet" -- if it's old
and lousy then it deserves to die. Amateurs will then put something better
in its place, whereas at present there is very little sign of the current
AX25/BBS dinosaur giving up the RF ground to more interesting RF systems.
Which reminds me: I've yet to see a fanatic "RF or nothing" fundamentalist
who doesn't use a telephone to talk to other amateurs to make up for the
lack of capability of his handheld. I bet that even Charles does. By the
same token, we use the Internet in a variety of interesting ways to the
benefit of our RF hobby. The idea of a single-medium communications net
is completely unrealistic anyway in a world where connectivity is paramount
and isolation is the kiss of death. I'm sure Charles knows this, so it
must have been a troll.
Rich.

Actually, if you've ever been to the Texoma area, you'll find most men
in bib-overalls, the women are barefoot, and the homes are tar paper.
The American Legion (mostly National Guard who never left the state)
has a C-64 for restocking orders... There's a rumor of an Apple 2e
upgrade, but members are fighting the technology...
What the man really mean't, was that anything past a mag-mount
stuck to the fridge is "spit" "too dern fall-utting fer us here... 10-4?"
