Hi
Back several years ago I took charge of a bunch of RTTY tapes from
the great state of New Jersey. The plan was to convert them to
digital form and put them up on the web site. At the time I was in
Connecticut and *thought* I had the time for the project.
These days I live in Carlisle, PA and after two years here I *know* I
don't have the spare time for the project. I would guess that maybe
in five years it might happen, but probably not. The tapes are in
good shape at this point. The pipe break last Sunday morning missed
them all, but it did get me thinking ....
I have had several inquiries over the years about the tapes. I'm not
sure if the guys who asked are still interested or not. I would like
to pass the collection on intact to somebody who would be willing to
make them available by one means or the other.
It took several trips to haul all of them around. My guess is that we
are talking about maybe two trips with a full sized van. One full of
stuff and probably overflow into the second.
Shipping is probably out of the question unless somebody has a *lot*
of cash. They would all need to be re-boxed before they went to UPS.
I'm not in a position to subsidize that kind of thing.
The tapes are free to who ever gets them. I would prefer to get them
moved before summer if possible.
If we need to move this discussion off the list that's fine with me,
just let me know.
Take Care!
