[Drake] Drake C Line Service Information/Review

[Mike Souhrada]

Today I received the CD from Garey and took a quick look at the contents.
I wish I had this prior to attempting the K4ZS mods.
The data is quite a bit more than I expected and looks  very professional.
(Better than the web site pictures)
All on PDF format which is a question I wondered about.

I did note some pages in the PDF were different sizes but that might be
because I have a new operating system (XP) and  still learning it's 
peculiarities.
CD is well worth the money as a lot of effort went into the production.

I left the original message on in case the list missed it.
