No, unless you're a member, they aren't very polite. I've been down that
road too. I used to be a member, but their attitude chased me away.
At a hamfest one year, I went to talk to the area rep and he blew me off
like trash. SCREW THAT. I dropped the subscription and I told them why. He
was there TO talk to members about issues. He was too busy with his buds -
sitting there with him. How he got to be a rep, I'll never know. He sure
wasn't interested in people's views or concerns. It's things like that -
which help kill a good thing. He to me, is what I call - a "title"
collector. Loves the title, screw the job that goes with it.

Hi, Thanks for all the emails and QST searches, it seems from all the
mail I've received its very probable that W1DX was the author of the
receiver project, I must admit I'm very impressed with its
performance, I'd like to get a copy of the article that W1DX penned in
QST "Whats wrong with our receivers" I gather it was a one page
article, if anyone has it I'd be grateful of a copy, I have on
previous occasions asked ARRL for various bits of info but never
received any useful replies, perhaps I didn't get to the right person,
thanks from Ron g3yuh.......

Hi, at the moment I'm refurbishing an old radio that was originally
built from a project in the 1960 ARRL Handbook Page 119 The 2*4+1
Superhet, it is a superb design and works really well for such a
simple receiver, is it possible to find out who designed it? I can't
find any reference to that in the project, I'm writing up the
refurbishment and would like any info on the original design..
