Doug's Desk in CQ Magazine

I was looking for a magazine article by W1FB which dealt with using relays to remotely switch antennas.  I couldn't find it in the magazines I have at hand so I decided to look on the web.  I believe it is from his CQ column, Doug's Desk, which ran from 1993 through 1997.  I know I have it here somewhere - per the Hamcall search I *think* it is from October 1997.  As I recall it used auto (Bosch) relays with some kind of power saving circuit.  Anyway I thought it would be handy to have an index of his CQ columns:
