CQ Contest magazine for a total of over  10 years. I'm hoping to reprint all
of them in an upcoming book."

Wow.  At a minimum, I would ensure that a disclaimer is conspicuously posted 
in each and every column highlighted in red, bolded, blocked, and 
italicized.

The last thing you want is someone to use "how to" information in reliance 
to their detriment.  While you may have an adequate defense, being haled 
into court is the last thing anyone needs, even if you're certain you don't 
owe a duty.

Generally, instructional services like ComTrain won't release safety-related 
information without enrollment.  Proper technique up on a tower needs more 
than just a review in a magazine column.
