Something wrong with the dates there: G2DAF himself could not have said
those things in 1991 or 1993, because he died in the mid-1970s.

After the holidays, I will ask the RSGB librarian to check G2DAF's own
"Single Sideband" column which he wrote in the early 1960s. There are
also a few other leads to be followed-up.
