[CW] Morse Code Podcasts (ITU List of Coast Stations)

[BURNS MARTIN JR]

Morning all,
A bit off subject, but I am in the process of clearing out stuff.  I have for free, just pay postage on 5 pounds, a 1,000 page plus ITU publication entitled List of Coast Stations.  This publication is dated December 1986.  It is in fair to good condition.  If anyone is interested, please contact me directly and we will work out the details.  Thanks and 73
