I use to have all the articles in a box, but over the years have lost them. Heck, ole Wayne use to pay me $125 per article.........I think he took the monie from under his "tinfoil" hat though, ha ha... He got real weird and quit HR but still played chasing aliens, like Art Bell...

I used to subscribe to 73 Magazine. I really enjoyed that publication. $125 probably was decent money in those days. I recall the "Packet and Ammo Box" article. I was heavy into packet at one time. I had a couple of "Rose Switches" and later went to a different switch. The other switch name escapes me. I used a vox type circuit, homebrewed to power a tape recorder once. I may have built it from your article. I don't recall where I found it. It activated a tape recorder when a particular frequency was active on a scanner. I guess you would actually have called it a COR. It worked and I knew what had gone on during the night while I was sleeping. That is to say if I had gotten to sleep that night and not been called out.
We should have known he had some experience writing Andy !
