Fw: [ForSale-Swap] Help Al Waller And Win Two Ways

Fri Dec 19 19:48:05 EST 2003

Duane is right about the work/service Al Waller provides for all of us
and many don't fully appreciate what we have here and where it comes
from. Let me reiterate an offer I made about a year ago and which is
still in effect (but this time with a little more sales pizaz):

I will donate $7 to Al Waller for every one of my "HBR Receiver" CDs sold
for $10 postpaid in the USA. This CD is updated periodically as new
things come up.  Previously I've commented that the CD includes "HBR
Receiver information .....and much more". Let me describe "much more" in
detail this time.

* The whole HBR Receiver Data book (more than is on my web site). These
receivers were published in QST in the late 50s and early 60s  
* HBR Receiver reflector digests
* HBR Receiver pictures from various hams which now has well over 100
pictures
* Copy of the K5BCQ Website
* ARC-5 summary manual
* BC348 J,N,Q manual
* BC348 H,K,L,R manual
* BC348 E,M,O,P,S manual
* AN GRR-5 manual
* URM 25D manual
* URM 25F manual
* TV7 manual
* manual on Command Sets
* Conversion Manual #1
* Conversion Manual #2
* Conversion Manual #3
* Boonton 260A Q Meter manual
* Cub Scout 1 tube radio schematic
* dBm to uV conversion for 50 ohms
* Ocean Hopper partial manual
* Space Spanner partial manual
* Star Roamer partial manual
* S38A partial manual
* Heathkit SB-104A Tech Schematic
* Morris Coilwinder manual
* Heathkit Master Parts List
* TO Keyer schematic from the 50s
* R/C (Radio Control) EK Logictrol receiver
* R/C EK Logictrol decoder
* R/C EK Logictrol super pro receiver 
   (still looking for the transmitter schematic)
* R/C Flying Model Simulator
* DirectX 8.1 (needed for the simulator)
* R/C Flying Model Simulator additional planes
* Car pictures ...mostly 33-34 Mopars
* Critters in the yard
* Hubble Space Telescope pictures
* Acrobat Reader 5.0 (needed for the .PDF files)
   ........ETC  

The CD is not auto loading (by design), you read it and put data where
you want it, or just read off the CD. On this version you get the "cheap
CD label" not the multicolor HBR Receiver schematic label, you do get the
thin jewel box in a padded envelope.

Merry Christmas and have a great Holiday Season

Please Note:

The contents of the CD Lloyd is giving away are shown at the bottom of
this
post.

Lloyd Godsey, KK7IZ of Mesa, Arizona, USA is making the following offer
in an
effort to help generate money to fund the operation of qth.net/qsl.net

As some of you know, Al Waller, K3TKJ is the owner and this is his hobby.
He
does not do this for commercial purposes, never has, and he hopes he
never has
to either. He started it for a few Ham friends and it has grown into the
largest
radio hobbyists service in the world. But it takes money to pay for the
two T1
lines that handle your list post traffic to qth.net and qsl.net web
sites. He
depends on your donations to keep the servers serving up the priceless
technical
information, the timely answers to your wide and often unique questions,
your
personal non-commercial items for sale or swap, the Ham news in all fifty
states, the logs and tidbits for users of the short-wave list and dozens
of
other special lists covering a plethora of topics and much more. Unless
each of
us contribute financially to this wonderful service to keep it operating,
one
day we will lose it. Al can no longer give us this out of his own pocket
as he
did for a number of years. It has grown far beyond anything he ever
imagined and
is way too valuable to simply stop doing. So we all need to send him
whatever we
can, be it a dollar or twenty dollars or more. Every dollar helps keep
the hard
drives spinning 24/7/365.26

You can make a donation at one of the following web sites or by regular
mail.

For PayPal: k3tkj at qsl.net

For a credit card on the secure server: proxy.qsl.net

Regular mail: QSL.NET, C/O Al Waller, K3TKJ, 34087 Old Hickory Road,
Laurel, DE
19956

Please make checks payable to: QSL.NET

Al Waller keeps all of your information private. Unlike many other
services that
handle mail lists and/or web sites, he does 'NOT' sell or otherwise
distribute
your personal information to anyone for any reason! He does everything
within
his power to protect your identity and to keep these mail lists
commercial free,
totally operated by volunteers and devoted to all facets of the Ham Radio
and
radio hobbyists areas of interest.

Now listen up, as right now Lloyd Godsey is going to make your donation a
little
extra special by offering:
"I am donating 4 reprint copies of the 1937 Kenyon Transmitter manual 
and 4
copies of KK7IZ's Archives CD to the 4 people who donate the most to
QSL.net
by 2400 hours PST December 31 2003. You, Duane W8DBF, handle the
logistics. I
will even
send you the stuff for distribution and I will pay all postage."

Do NOT send any donations to me! All are to be sent to Al Waller at the
above
addresses. Al, and ONLY Al, will know who donates and the amount! When
the time
for getting one of the prizes Lloyd, KK7IZ has donated has elapsed, Al
Waller
will notify me of the four winners. Just names, no amounts! Whereupon I
will
publically announce the winners names and mail out the prizes.

Thanks to Lloyd for donating these items, thanks to Al Waller for
providing us
with this fabulous service unequalled anywhere at any price by anyone and
thanks
to each of you for helping to make it continue to happen.
