items from the issue that I found interesting:
Remote Control of a Grid-Dip Meter p 15
A ham takes advantage of a consumer after-market add-on remote of a TV to tune a grid dip meter, very intuitive. This reminded me of Jack Lemmon in The Apartment (previously mentioned here:

CC Baxter is eating his TV Dinner in front of the TV and has a remote control on the end table (so he doesn't get chicken fat on the Zenith ?)
Simple Low-Pass Filter Design p 21 at first I thought this was for a transmitter but it was intended for audio filters - this was the heyday of the 44/88 mH telephone loading coils. I suspect it could be scaled from baseband to RF fairly easily.
A Voice Key for the Handicapped p 36
An inspiring story.
Transistor Mobile Converter p 41
There would be many such converter articles in QST over the years, in fact a 15-10 converter (but with tubes) was also in this issue. Also, the author's (M.F. De Maw) first of over 600 QST articles !
Gil cartoon p 63
I'm not sure what this was in reference to, seems topical, maybe a satellite or ??
