    January In the January 2024 issue, the first paragraph of “The World Above 50 MHz” column contains an incorrect name and call sign. The second sentence and the beginning of the third sentence should read, “The W8S team on Swains Island made 6-meter Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) contacts with KJ9I and Gary, K9RX (EM85), who was the second ham to work W8S, followed by NØTB. Gary applauded…” This has since been corrected in the digital edition.
    January  In the January 2024 issue of QST, transmit-receive turnaround times with AMS on the radio disabled were left of of Table 1 in the Yaesu FTM-500DR review in Product Review. These have since been added to the digital edition.
    Janaury In the January 2024 issue of QST, "FT8 Visualized" contains an error. The second and third sentences in the first paragraph under the "Final FT8 Format and More Resources" subhead should read, "These are assembled in groups of three and converted to Gray code to get 5 symbols or transmitted tones. Add the three Costas arrays of seven symbols each (21 symbols in total) to determine that an FT8 message is 79 symbols, or the equivalent of 237 binary bits." This has since been corrected in the digital edition.
    February In "The Un-Unly Balun Form" by John Portune, W6NBC, and Jim Bailey, W6OEK, in the February 2024 issue, it was incorrectly stated that an ugly balun can be used to cover several higher frequency bands than the one for which is was designed. Due to self-resonance of the balun windings, the frequency range is limited to one or two higher frequency bands at most. Additionally, 3D-printer files that will assist with the build are now accessible on QST in Depth (www.arrl.org/qst-in-depth).
    February In the February 2024 issue of QST, "How's DX?" contains an error. The first paragraph states that Alejandro Selkirk Island had never been activated before, but the CB0Z operation was conducted there in 2020. This has since been corrected in the digital edition.
     April  In "Arizona Hams Hit Their Local Parks" by Gary Laatsch, KI7PBR, in the April 2024 issue, the last photo is captioned and credited incorrectly. In the photo, Bruce, KK7HTS, is on the left, and Rick, K7RCR, is on the right. The photo is credited to Bert, K7DIP. This has since been corrected in the digital edition.
    May

    "The RAS2 - A Remote Antenna Switch" by John Albert, WA9FVP, in the May 2024 issue, contains an error in Figure 4. The BC807 PNP transistors are incorrectly drawn as NPN devices. The emitters should be connected to +12V. A correction has been made to the digital edition. Also, good practice would include adding 1 K remisotors in the gate fee linies to each 2N7002, rather than have direct connections to the Arduino pins.

    June In the June 2024 issue, the Figure 1 photo credit in Jim Peterson's K6EI, and Jim DeLoach's, WUØI, "Field Day - Safety First!" should be attributed to Steve Elstad, AJ6PV. This has since been corrected in the digital edition.
    July In the July 2024 issue, the "Securing Equipment on Inclined Surfaces" entry in "Hints & Hacks" contains a duplicate image in Figure 4. To see the correct Figure 4 image, visit the digital edition at www.arrl.org/qst.
    August In the August 2024 issue, the first sentence in the second full paragraph of "The Challenge and the Beauty of IOTA from Yanuca Island, Fiji" contains an error. In "...the only inhabited island among the seven that from the Ringgold Island..." the "seven" should be "17." Also, in the first paragraph under the "Yanuca On the Air" subhead, the "3Y2LYC" call sign should be "3D2LYC."
