But somebody still has to get people to provide copy, edit it (not just chan= ge the layout to conform to the house style - there can be much more to it t= han that). You also have to arrange for printing and distribution, which co= st money. =20 Even with a quarterly periodical of a couple of dozen pages which does not t= ake advertising, and where the editorial team does not charge for its time,=20= you still have printing and distribution costs. You can run such a thing on=20= a low annual subscription, but to produce a monthly periodical of 60 or so a= dvert-free pages (which is about what November RadCom contains) requires one= or more people to be employed, and if you don't take adverts you have to fi= nd the money from somewhere else.
