[AMRadio] Anybody for the HBR Receiver?

[Robert Fish]

Hi Mike,
There is a moderately active e-mail list like this one for the HBR 
receiver owners and builders.
Available at this address:

http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/hbr

There is some historical info available from members there as well. I 
think there is a DVD available from
one of Ted Crosby's colleagues that covers the history of the receivers 
in great detail. Some one on that list
should be able to fill you in.

73,
