CQ COMMUNUCATION NEWS
Richard, W2VU, provided the following press release dated November 17th: "Chip Margelli, K7JA, Named CQ Communi- cations Director of Advertising Sales and Marketing -- Charles H. "Chip" Margelli, K7JA, has been appointed Director of Advertising Sales and Marketing for CQ Communications, Inc., it was announced today by company President and Publisher Richard Ross, K2MGA. Chip will join the CQ staff on December 1, 2010, and will be responsible for advertising sales for CQ Amateur Radio, CQ VHF and Popular Communications magazines, as well as marketing efforts for all CQ Communications products. Chip succeeds Don Allen, W9CW, CQ and CQ VHF Advertising Manager; and Arnie Sposato, N2IQO, Popular Communications Advertising Manager, both of whom are retiring at the end of 2010. Advertising sales for WorldRadio Online will continue to be coordinated by Jon Kummer, WA2OJK.

Chip brings to CQ more than three decades of experience in the amateur radio industry, including nearly thirty years with Yaesu (now Vertex Standard) and, more recently, four years with Heil Sound. He is fluent in Japanese, German and Spanish (as well as English).

An active ham for more than 45 years, Chip is known worldwide as a champion contester, DXer and DXpeditioner. He is currently active on all amateur bands from 1.8 through 1300 MHz, and is a 2008 inductee into the CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame. Chip and his wife, Janet, KL7MF, live in Garden Grove, California. Outside of amateur radio, Chip enjoys photography and astronomy, and is a marathon runner.

'I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the CQ Communications organi- zation,' Chip says. 'The CQ family of action-packed magazines is widely respected throughout the world of amateur radio and shortwave listening, and to be a part of this dynamic communications group is the opportunity of a lifetime!'

'Chip will be able to relate to our advertisers and prospective adver- tisers in a unique way,' notes CQ Publisher Dick Ross, K2MGA, 'having been in their shoes, working for both a major and a mid-sized manufacturer. Plus, he already knows and is well-known throughout the amateur radio industry, so he will be able to hit the ground running.'

'As we welcome Chip,' Ross continued, 'we sadly say farewell and thank you to both Don Allen and Arnie Sposato. Don and Arnie each have represented all three of our print publications over the course of their many years at CQ. Their combined knowledge of the industry and of the people behind the nameplates is unparalleled and we will miss them greatly. We wish them both only the best in retirement.'

CQ Communications, Inc., based in Hicksville, New York, publishes CQ Amateur Radio, CQ VHF, Popular Communications and WorldRadio Online magazines, in addition to CQ books, videos and related products. It also sponsors a comprehensive series of operating awards and contests. Its flagship magazine, CQ Amateur Radio, has been in continuous monthly publication for more than 65 years."
