There may have been another article... but the one Jim describes is indeed
QST May 1953 page 58. Logging on an "IBM punch-card machine" :-)

I believe a similar article appeared in QST in the late 1960's.
Steve Brandt N7VS ex: WB6VVS, WN6QYP Portland, Oregon
Some time back, W3FQB (SK) wrote a story called "The Man Who Broke The
Bank"
about a techno-ham who built a fully automated SS station and proceeded
to
make an incredible score. The computer did everything - tuned across all
the
bands looking for new ones, called CQ, made the QSOs, kept the log,
decided where
the best points-rate could be found, etc. He just sat and watched it go,
and
occasionally keyed it manually just to have something to do.
The article was in QST for May, 1953.
