Default Letter to editor in SOARING Mag

I applaud ALL individual contributions to Soaring Magazine. I've helped edit some of the articles and I know that it is a lot of work.

The recent issue that focused on winches and "gravity launches" was a hoot, but most months I scan the whole thing and pick out one article that I want to read.

A printed magazine is anachronistic. Which will last the longest, the 2-33s or Soaring magazine?

Maybe cut it back to four issues a year? Two in the Winter, one in Spring and one in Fall.

Maybe hire one of the better soaring journals to produce an SSA edition? The good stuff from USA contributors could find a wider audience.

Put all of the announcements and "communications to members" on the SAA website? Put the letters on a members-only forum of the SSA website. Some of the letters would discourage people from getting involved with the sport.

If the magazine went away entirely, SSA would probably lose 500+ members who maintain no other contact with the sport. So I'd like to see fewer issues of higher and more consistent quality.
