The "K9YA Telegraph" is a free, monthly, general interest amateur radio e-Zine first published in January 2004. The journal of the Robert F. Heytow Memorial Radio Club, the "K9YA Telegraph" is distributed to subscribers in over 100 countries via e-mail as a PDF file. Issues comprise original articles written by authors drawn from its subscriber base. Notable among these authors is contributing editor, Rod Newkirk, W9BRD/VA3ZBB, former "How's DX" columnist for "QST" magazine.

The "K9YA Telegraph" describes itself as unique in offering the amateur radio community a no-cost, high concept publication covering a number of topics unavailable elsewhere and in providing a welcoming venue and readership to first-time writers. The "Telegraph's" staff includes: Michael Dinelli, N9BOR, layout; Philip Cala-Lazar, K9PL, editor; and Dick Sylvan, W9CBT, cartoonist. Dick Sylvan's cartoons, after first appearing in the "K9YA Telegraph", are then reprinted monthly in "RadCom", the journal of the Radio Society of Great Britain. A collection of Dick's cartoons is reproduced in the book, "HI HI--A Collection of Ham Radio Cartoons" (ISBN 1-4116-6195-8).

"K9YA Telegraph" articles have been referenced in the "Contester's Rate Sheet", a publication of the American Radio Relay League and "The Keynote", the journal of the International Morse Preservation Society (FISTS). The Fifth Edition of the book, "The Art & Skill of Radio-Telegraphy" by William Pierpont, NØHFF, will contain original content from the "K9YA Telegraph".
