I can second Jim's concern about have one's work usurped by another. I can
recall Googling a topic and having a paper come up on some Canadian's website
that appeared to be written by him but in fact was my ladderline paper. I
emailed him and asked him nicely to remove it and simply link to my site. He
refused to do so, so I contacted his ISP and made them aware that he was
violating their TOS. I guess he gave them a ration of crap so they closed his
account.
Bill Orr had my noise blanker circuit in his Handbook for years without me even
knowing about it until a friend mentioned it. Of course, Ham Radio Magazine
held copyright and I suppose gave him permission but it would have been nice to
know. It would have been even nicer to have received a copy.
Another example: A good friend of mine who is a stunning photographer
https://www.flickr.com/photos/gauchocat/ had someone tell him, "Hey Glenn, I saw
your photo in Audubon Magazine." You guessed it, downloaded from Flickr.
Jim does excellent work; he should get credit for it.

Almost all of G3TXQ's tests on his website with ferrite core baluns involved

Did you study the material on my website? My measurement method is clearly
described in several of the publications, including the RFI tutorial, the AES
Paper, and the Power Point for talks I've done for several ham clubs and
conventions. The equipment consists of an HP Generator and HP Spectrum
Analyzer (which was used as a terminated RF voltmeter).
My work, and its publication precedes G3TXQ's by at least five years. His work
is clearly inspired by mine (and I would think by W1HIS's), yet he fails to
credit either of us. All of my writing credits others who have made important
contributions on the topic I'm writing about. I did, for example, reference
work and texts by Henry Ott, Clayton Paul, W1HIS, E. C. Snelling, Neil Muncy,
Bill Whitlock, Jerry Sevick, and Doug DeMaw in the RFI tutorial.
The "Cookbook" that is part of my RFI tutorial is based directly on the
measured data that is discussed throughout the tutorial and summarized in
Appendix One.
