[Milsurplus] Scanned material and the resellers

[Nick England]

I have scanned and posted close to 1000 USN radio and teletype manuals. All
are open access on the internet and people can do whatever they want with
the scans. I don’t worry about it - I just enjoy helping people who
need/want the info for historical and restoration efforts.

I have scanned and posted the Electron issues that I have at
http://www.navy-radio.com/manuals.htm#maintenance

And I’ll be happy to scan and add yours too Hue.

All my original manuals and publications will go to either AWA or NEM
museums some day. I gave AWA backup copies of all my scans a while back. I
need to update them.

Best regards
Nick
