[Boatanchors] BAMA is not closing...just slowing down on new additions...temporarily.

[Kenneth Grimm]

 *Notice:  The owner, chief cook and bottle washer of the BAMA web site 
is about to change QTH.  The new location, while absolutely excellent 
for ham radio, is not served by cable or DSL.  Since this site can't 
really be maintained via a 56Kb dial up, the only other option is a 
satellite connection via Wild Blue or Hughes.  This may take a while to 
arrange and the results may not be satisfactory.  (I'm not normally 
pessimistic....except when dealing with Internet service providers).*

*BAMA was originally intended to be a site for the exchange of ham radio 
manuals for tube (valve) type gear.  All of the other stuff was added 
because K4XL didn't know how to say "No."  Given the uncertainties 
associated with the move, K4XL is going to have to say "No" to anything 
other than manuals for tube type ham transmitters, receivers and 
associated gear.  This means no more military equipment or test gear 
manuals will be added to the web site for the immediate future.  *

*Those of you who have contributed so much in the way of test gear and 
military gear manuals should not feel that you are not appreciated, 
because you definitely are!  You are urged to continue to upload 
material that you think would meet the BAMA mission but you should not 
expect to see it appear on the web site until K4XL can arrange for 
something better than 56K dialup!!!  For /bona fide/ ham gear, I will 
find a way!!!*

*If you are uploading, please place the manual in a folder along with a 
text file describing the file and also giving your name so that you can 
be recognized for your contribution to the BAMA effort.  My email 
addresses are subject to change, so please do not send manuals via 
email.  Likewise, please do not send manuals via YouSendIt until further 
notice. Thank you all for your support of the BAMA project.  I hope that 
this interruption will not last very long.
