I don't know the answer. Perhaps there is a way to get the ARRL back on track.
It takes someone in the upper ranks there who can see the Handbook for what it
is
and get seek out the authors that can contribute to it and also start serious
peer
review rather than mutual pats on each others backs.
Perhaps you (and others) should read recent editions of the Handbook
before criticizing it. I have, and I've also contributed stuff. I know
both the prior editor, N6BV) (now retired) and the current one, Ward
Silver, N0AX. Both are very sharp guys, and know their stuff cold. Ward
consistently writes excellent stuff for QST -- indeed, it's almost the
only thing in QST that doesn't make me cringe.
Ward took over the Handbook about 4 years ago, and has been working hard
at improving it. The latest version of the Antenna Book is is first, and
he's hard at work on that too.
