Well, it's ceratinly OK with me if you use *my* stuff. Of course I can't 
clear you to use the images that *I* used without permission; so you're 
kind of on your own there. Most of them came from the Elecraft site, but 
others came from other ham radio websites--- the sequence dealing with 
the history of amateur radio building in particular...a total of three 
or four images, as I recall.

Also, to make changes you probably need to understand that this was 
*not* a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation. It was done with Huckster, a 
very lightweight open-source slideshow tool written in Java. So if 
you're happy to use what's posted on the web, that's fine. If you need 
to alter the Huckster scripting, you'll need the script, the Huckster 
JAR file (kind of a portable Java executable package, downloadable from 
the Huckster site) and you'll need to install the Java runtime on your 
computer (if it isn't there already).

The laptop I built the presentation on is currently in the shop for 
service (backlight quit on me)...so the backup of the Huckster script I 
have immediately available here on my Linux server isn't *quite* the one 
I used to generate the slides you see online. When I get the laptop back 
(assuming HP hasn't found it necessary to clobber the hard disk to fix 
the backlight) I may be able to track down the source of the images from 
my browser history and retroactively ask for permission to 
republish...or at least know who to ask. That will be at least a week 
from today, maybe two.

So that's the situation. Summary:
  () Use what I wrote, fine.
  () Use the images: you're on your own as to intellectual property 
issues...*I* think illustrating my lecture with them was within "fair 
use" but your milage may vary.
  () Modifying the presentation could be tricky.
