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
