As Ron said, you,ve been saying that for 18 years. You indicate the next issue will be released in early July, I'll bet its not.
I have been buying this magazine whenever it is available, which recently has been very irregularly, off the newstsands since 1991. I have by choice not subscribed to the magazine for the simple reason you have no idea when the next issue is going to be available.
Someone else asked the question what do the magazines advertisers think ? Let me tell you from speaking to a lot of them, they are suitably unimpressed.
Aust Sky and Telescope may not be 100% local content but at least its produced on a regular timely basis, which is what advertisers and readers and subscribers want. I can see Aus Sky and Tel's circulation growing at a rapid rate and also the % of local contribution increasing and also the support of local advertisers as at least suppliers ads get into readers hands.
Please note that my criticism is in no way directed at the quality of the magazine. I think its a great magazine with excellent content. I wouldn't have continued to buy it for 14 years if it wasn't a great product. My criticism is solely related to the spasmodic and untimely publication of the magazine.
IMO its move over Sky and Space, Aus Sky and Tel is coming through, unless you people pull your finger out and pull it out very quickly.
