[Boatanchors] Hashafisti Scratchi

[Rob Atkinson]

I'd like to get a lot of the material on that american radio history
website but the files are huge and my old cheap ham computer and cheap
ham DSL connection can't handle it.  Also I don't have time to read
what I already have.  I did notice a year or two ago that some of the
pdf copies are not readable for some reason.
