[Elecraft] Balun Questions

[Wes (N7WS)]

I can second Jim's concern about have one's work usurped by another.  I can 
recall Googling a topic and having a paper come up on some Canadian's website 
that appeared to be written by him but in fact was my ladderline paper.  I 
emailed him and asked him nicely to remove it and simply link to my site. He 
refused to do so, so I contacted his ISP and made them aware that he was 
violating their TOS.  I guess he gave them a ration of crap so they closed his 
account.

Bill Orr had my noise blanker circuit in his Handbook for years without me even 
knowing about it until a friend mentioned it.  Of course, Ham Radio Magazine 
held copyright and I suppose gave him permission but it would have been nice to 
know.  It would have been even nicer to have received a copy.

Another example: A good friend of mine who is a stunning photographer 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/gauchocat/ had someone tell him, "Hey Glenn, I saw 
your photo in Audubon Magazine."  You guessed it, downloaded from Flickr.

Jim does excellent work; he should get credit for it.
