[W2pm at aol.com]

This is not a ARRL bash but the quality of their technical reviews has 
declined over the years despite having more "details" available - they seldom miss 
the details that underlie these problems but they seem to actively avoid direct 
criticisms of the items they review in a way which would apply the correct 
pressure.  And by not doing that they all but give these makers an official 
pass.
