OT: large scale production of quartz crystals during WWII

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Of course, one of the pioneers was Hazard Reeves (K2GL, SK in 1986).
"Buz" was a world class engineer and beyond that, is still well known
for the "winning-est" Multi-Multi Contest Station in history (I
operated there from 1976 to 1986).  In fact, the Multi-Multi Category
was invented because of Buz' operations in the CQWW DX Contest.  He
won everything, so they created a new category to distinguish what he
was doing from what others were doing.  Can you imagine competing head
to head as a Single-Op with M/M because there was only one category?
LOL

I don't know if Hazard Reeves is mentioned in the book or not, but if
not, he should be.
