Those articles
are well over a decade old, and "ham radio" (no caps in their logo) magazine
hasn't published a new issue for years.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. HAM RADIO Magazine,

There are no capital letters in the logo printed on the magazine
covers. They did the e.e.cummings thing. "ham radio" is the name of
the mag, not "HAM RADIO".

Just look at the cover.

Jim, I seriously doubt that Lennie was ever interested in the
cover...

Ignored and laughed at by the "real" electronics industry, Lennie
found a convienient little nest where he could roost, claiming to be
an "associate editor", using his "professional" status to bully his
way around the other contributors.

Occassionally getting a by-line wherein he could lay some
"honest" claim to being "published" in an industry where BEING
published is THE achievement, he could rest assured his name would lay
in some dingy basement as an "archived" volume for eternity...

I dare say Lennie probably got several comp'ed copies of
HR...(excuse me...."hr"...!)and put them at every coffee pot around
his "day" job office. I am sure the office secretary appreciated the
use of them as "coasters".
