[GreenKeys] Old Audio QSO Archives

[John Lawson]

  Just thought to throw this out:

   I (and afew others) are embarking on a Scheme to collect and archive any 
and all early recordings of ham QSOs, conversations, signals, etc - that 
folks may have in drawres, boxes, stacked up in closets, etc., etc.

   I have the facilities and the lifelong experience to play anythng from 
Edison cylinders on up - including the small 'home' type acetate and wax 
discs (Recordio, etc) wires, old tapes (even damaged or dteriorating - no 
problem) cassettes, anything.


   I'll then convert the program to a digital format, and burn a CD/DVD for 
you - and return the materials and the CD, all for free, except maybe 
postage.

   The archived files will then go to a compendium of legacy ham-related 
audio files to be stored in a library somewhere on the Web for acess to 
all.

   Contact me off-list of you might have, or know of any old recordings 
that somehow relate to Ham Radio or RTTY - early recording os lectures, 
seminars, club meetings, what have you.


  Cheers and thanks!!

   PS: I know there a several efforts underway to do this for RTTY-related 
data - I'm looking more for voice records, etc...
