Don In the 'for what it's worth' department... Beginning in the early to mid 70's the Technical Department at ARRL no longer exercised much control over the technical content of QST. Forced 'dumbing down' of QST (and other pubs other than the Handbook) was dictated by the GM. NBVM was believed by that GM to be the 'second coming' of SSB and it was promoted shamelessly in QST over the objections of the Technical Department.
