[Boatanchors] Was SRR-11, now manuals, scanning, etc.

You are right on there.  One guy bought a tube manual CD from me, added
some other manuals and started selling it on eBay.  With the exception of
a few R-390x manuals I downloaded from the LOGSA military site, I
scanned everyone of my manuals myself.  I bought a lot of them off eBay,
scanned them, then resold the manuals to recover some of the money
spent.  

The one good thing about scanning yourself is that you get to sort of read
as you go and learn some interesting things.

BTW, my most recent scan was the manual for the FRR-59 receiver.
If anyone has room to post it on a web site (265 MB needed! ) I'll be
happy to mail them a CD of the .PDF file.
