Yeah, I seem to recall a crash somewhere along the line. Didn't remember it
being so recent. When Stan said 'original website' I thought he meant
Robert's site which was called the Hammarlund Historian for those not
around back then. I recall he ran into some personal problems and had to
move on from keeping the site. Wasn't sure how much of it made the transfer
to QTH.net then to you.

You need to get a pointy stick and poke ol' Locklear in the ribs. He's
retired now and spends his time sunbathing, playing guitar, eating and
drinking a lot, and posing & flexing for the girls on the beach. Put that
boy to work before he gets himself in trouble!
