Andy,
Agreed! Even copying and pasting the Abstract with this info is fair use as publishers frequently made titles and abstracts publicly available.
Personally, I¡¯ve sent folks PDFs of articles they stated they would like to read because they are actively studying the topic. This IS fair use, just as going to a library and photocopying an article out of a print magazine or journal is. Ask any professional librarian!
In my case, I have an active paper with two local E.E.s comparing several NanoVNA devices with the MiniVNA, the Tom Baier VNA from Sdr-Kits, an Agilent FieldFox, and a high end R&S VNA with precision loads and several commodity DUTs that ham operators would often use. We will complete the measurement schedule after the Holidays but will have to see if we offer anything beyond this new QEX article.
It¡¯s completely legal and ethically being a colleague if someone on this list sends me either images of the article pages or a scanned PDF if that¡¯s easier. I¡¯m good on QRZed and my email is here, too.
73,
Frank
