# Exchange Newsletters

Since renewing our publication schedule in January, BoSTUG gets exchange newsletters from many groups across the continent.

The newsletters are available to members at the bi-monthly meetings. When someone figures out how to keep track of loan-outs, they will be available for take- out and mailout. Suggestions!

Quality and quantity vary. The most reliable is the [HATS](http://localhost/periodical/harrisburg-area-timex-sinclair-users-group/) from Lemoyne, PA, with whom we tied for eighth place in the [Time Designs Magazine](http://localhost/category/periodicals/time-designs/) contest in May.

[Vernon Smith](http://localhost/indiv/vernon-smith/), who edits the Washington, DC, [CATS newsletter](http://localhost/periodical/cats-newsletter/) puts out the meatiest and most professional newsletter. It won second place in the TDM contest and was the top newsletter produced on a Sinclair computer.

This editor is pleased that some of what we publish is of interest to others. The Chicago area [Nite-Times News](http://localhost/category/periodicals/nite-times-news/) copied Mike Mitchell’s article and listing, “Telecommunications on the QL”.

What was most interesting is that they got it from the Phoenix, AZ, based [QZX](http://localhost/category/periodicals/qzx/) which specializes in Sinclair Telecommunications.

We don’t even exchange with then, yet! They got it from the group in Dallas. By the time it got back to us, a POKE had been added and a line changed. Congratulations, Mike!

We have also uncovered in the BCS archives exchange newsletters from 1983/1984, the heyday of Sinclair computing.

We really need a Coordinator of Newsletter Exchange to summarize the best for inclusion in this newsletter. It has gotten beyond the abilities of the editor to keep up. Volunteers, PLEASE!
