Hi Bob, et al,
	The  www.hammarlund.org website is NOT down, but isn't quite what it 
used to be.  I've done some work on it recently, and have particularly 
been trying to get the manual page filled up.  I thought we had more on 
the HX-50 there, and did point Bob to the one item that is there.  It 
has a bit of what is in your file, but not nearly as helpful.  I'd like 
to put your file up there if you'd consent.
thanks & 73,

Al, W8UT
