Don't be put off by the need for house styles etc - if you do look at
the articles that have made it in the past, they were all in the
authors own words.  The peer review is more or less a rubber stamp if
the article in straightforward and constructional- if its about zero
loss magnetic loops that would be a different matter)

As for the need for repeatability, say so.  If you've done a one off
with components from the junk box it still be of interest and that
won't stop the editors / TC, but be prepared for a lot of questions
from constructors

I've been following the way this thread has developed with
considerable interest, and am actually rather pleased that the problem
appears to be worldwide.  Now I do know its not a personal radcomic
thing, but is part of a more general malaise.  Can be assume either
that :

1)

They DO WANT TO PUBLISH TECHNICAL ARTICLES (shouting intentionally)
but as there are so few being written the general trend is to
