We also completely blew the headline on the Bletchley Park item that led "Up Front in QST" on page 20. I apologized to WA9AQN in person at Friedrichshafen.

From Steve Ford:
This is the story . . . As the July issue of QST was about to go to press, we realized that we would not have enough room to publish the entire resonance probe article without sacrificing other content in the issue. We made the decision to move the article to a later issue, but word of the change was not properly communicated to the Graphics department so that the cover could be changed accordingly. QST covers are sent separately from the main body of the magazine, so this error bypassed our usual checks. We have subsequently modified our process so that this should not happen again. A story about the error was published in the ARRL Letter. There was also a small error in my "Inside HQ" column. I stated that California has seven ARRL Sections. As some eagle-eyed readers have already pointed out, it actually has nine. I put a correction in the August column. These are unfortunate errors and I am sorry about them. Hopefully, we have learned from our mistakes and this has made us rethink and change some our quality control and editing processes to minimize these problems in the future. Harold
