What year/month were the Sanders articles in QST? I have most of the

through them lately.

It's 1963 for the article(s), I seem to recall there was a second article
about the noiseblanker but I'm not sure. *The QST review of the receiver
wsa in '64 or maybe '65.

I know the years because I never had QST from 1963 for some reason, though
I have '62 and '64, so I've never actually seen the Squires article.

I can pull a few books off the shelf from the prime hobby use of the 7360,
and when I get around to it, I'll see if there is much variation in the
use of the tube or not.

Of course, for a lot of the articles, there was a point of introduction
and the others followed. *So if there is a definite trend in one method,
it might be just as simple as others using what was in the first article.

The 7360 is prominently featured in the 60's ARRL Handbooks, that's
for sure. There's one exciter that uses three of them!

I do recall a one or two-band receiver in a 60's handbook that uses a
7360 in the front end. In fact, the more I think about that, the more
I realize that this is the receiver I was thinking of building :-).
Gotta go find it!
