C. L. Stong wrote The Amateur Scientist articles in Scientific American
magazine for many years, throughout the 1940s - 1960s and later period.
As a child, I read these avidly and built many of the things he
described. I did not know he was a ham!
All The Amateur Scientist articles are available on a CD. I particularly
remember building a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (well, a
simple one) in the late 1950s from one of his articles.
Scientific American magazine today is a mere shadow of its former self,
due mainly to a new publisher imported from Popular Science magazine.
There is no longer an Amateur Scientist article in each issue.

The only C.L. Stong (W2PFM - great call!!!) article that I could find at QST
came up in an archive search: "How to Cook a Ham" from March 1947
A story about not having safety interlocks and getting zapped.

You need to be an ARRL member to access the file.
I also searched for "Lightning" and found nothing about detecting nearby
strikes, only about protection. Searched from around 1980 back through 1940.
Same for e-field.
