[Amps] ARRL Amplifier book

[Will Matney]

Vic, Richard, and others,
You don't reckon it could be that publishing such info anymore would be 
cutting the throats of the manufacturers who advertises with QST, etc? 
Hmmmmmmm, just a thought. I once heard a story about QST and ARRL 
refusing to publish good technical info from fear of the amp 
manufacturers not wanting it published. I shouldn't of said that, nope. 
If that's all they have in the book, I don't want it.

I suspect that they are afraid of litigation...if they publish a design 
for a QRO amplifier that uses more than 12 volts and someone builds it 
and gets killed, they could be a target for a dumba** lawsuit.
