Although April Fool’s Day is still a few weeks away, the April issue of QST is in the mail (and available now in digital form) with several pranks in store for readers.

“April Fool’s pranks are well-established traditions in the publishing world, and QST magazine is no exception,” said QST Editor in Chief Steve Ford, WB8IMY. “The April Fool’s tradition in QST goes back decades. Search the old issues and you’ll find some very clever items.”

The April 2014 issue of QST contains three April Fool’s pieces, according to Ford. “Some are more obvious than others. We’ll be curious to see how many readers spot the jokes.”
