All,
Just know that *soon* all ARRL members will have electronic access to QEX and NCJ issues via the ARRL.org website, although print issues will still require a subscription.
And, be aware that there IS the Fair Use provision in the copyright law. You do NOT need permission to quote a copyrighted work with source citation for limited and reasonable amount. Others have cited the appropriate legal source. I suspect Phil, that in your large dissertation (mine was two volumes), you quoted numerous sources with citation, no?
