Hi,  such a hot item and yes there is probably a copyright issue here.   I'm
not selling this to anyone or advertising it as available;  I remember when
I tried to get the first Kleronomos article from ER before I made the mod a
few years ago. It wasn't available.  I had the second article in my own
subscription copies of the magazine.  No back issues were available and as I
recall ER did not object when I asked the editor, then Barry Wiseman,  about
my providing the copy I finally obtained to someone that requested it.  I
was concerned about providing something that ER might be selling.  I notice
in my latest issue of  ER that any back issue is offered for $3.75 including
shipping, or you can buy the entire set of back issues for $375.  They don't
provide copies of individual articles to my knowledge.  $3.75 isn't a ripoff
- I think I pay $2.67 per issue with my subscription. 

I finally obtained a copy of the 92 article from a ham friend.  He sent a
jpg that I could barely read and I ended up retyping it completely to avoid
eyestrain.  I have subscribed to ER since about 1995 so don't have any of
the earliest articles, which covered the 390a in several articles.  A
complete index to ER is available online.  

Electric Radio is a unique publication in many ways with heavy emphasis on
AM ham operation.  But it has many interesting ideas,  projects, reviews etc
for general hi-tech radio buffs with little reference to solid state.  I
continue to read it with interest even though I am not a ham.  Some of the
articles are personal recounts by old timers.  I recommend it.  I'll be more
careful in the future about offering copies in an open way.  If you feel
unjustly awarded with a freebie,  I suggest subscribing to make amends for
our sins.  That should make the editor happy.    

The issues were:  Real Audio for the R-390a  Oct 1992
			Real Audio for the R-390a Revisited Feb 1997
			Simple Audio for the R-390a  June 2004 
If you're going to do the Kleronomos mod, you should have both of the first
two articles.  The Simple Audio article stands alone.
