[AMRadio] Scurvy Dog

[Jim Isbell]

Well, if you do a search on Prehlinger Archive ...that is if you remove 
the h that is in the name....you will go right to it.  Anyone who cant 
do that really does need his help it furnishing the download. 
 Especially since when the search is entered with the wrong spelling, 
the search engine actually prompts you to change the spelling...so its a 
no brainer.
