[Hallicrafters] Fw: BAMA mirror site

[LARRY SALETZKI]

Hi Richard,

I still have copies of all the  manuals I have uploaded to BAMA and
would be happy to do again.

I know Ken Grimm K4XL was looking for a new home for BAMA but I have
not heard anything

in months.

Hopefully he will find a spot and we can preserve this great resource.
