When does my subscription expire?

Information on subscription expiration is hidden in the top line of your mailing label, thanks to changes we had to make to avoid “Y2K” problems (remember Y2K?). Here’s how to find and translate it:

The other information on the top line includes magazine ID (first two digits; CQ=01), your subscription number (the long one) and, after the expiration date, the issue date -- 2110 in our example would be October, 2001 (21=2001; 10=October). If the code for your expiration date begins with a 3, such as 3108, it means that your subscription extends past 2010. A code of 3108 means your subscription expires with the August, 2011 issue.

If you have questions about your subscription, please be sure to include your full mailing address, including ZIP code in the US. Our system is set up to search most quickly on last name and ZIP code, NOT on callsign. Please e-mail subscription inquiries to <circulation@cq-amateur-radio.com>.
