I hardly follow that line of reasoning!

I don't see a lack of antenna ads in QST now, so there likely is no
effect on the bottom line.  The study is intended to see if QST
can bring more information to readers without the "marketing hyperists"
getting away with murder. Not that any marketing type would ever intend
to deceive anyone (:-)
