Hi Bob

I just put up more issues -- #1 through 12 and #37 plus a combo file with 
highlights of issues 1-4 in it -- all thanks to Brian Jeffrey, VE3UU who 
scanned them to pdf.  The pdf conversion is built into his software and may 
be somewhat different than #38-53 -- though I don't see any difference with 
Acrobat 7.0.

So you might want to try some of the lower numbered ones and make sure they 
work out for you.  Just click on the "Older Issues" link under Archives and 
then on the link on the page that pops up.  These are handled with a 
database gimmick to make it quicker and easier for me to add files.

Barry
