I've been on the road a few weeks and now I am seeing a lot of emails that
seem to be talking about a web page project. What's up?

------------------------
Ron so glad you ask.

First off Craig put in a Christmas Wish List for you know when 2005.

The reply to that was so fat, the powers to be managing the Qth.net looked 
favorably on the text and enlarged the size of text message we can exchange on 
the reflector without getting a blessing from management.

Second this being that season every one has been on their very best behavior. 
The mail has simple been very very nice of late.

Third the wish list just blew up when every one seen wishes being granted 
left right and daily.

Fourth some big wishes popped in that may not be filled by any one this year. 
But not wanting to dash hope for any one the date Y3K was proposed at least 
once.

Fifth everyone that wanted to commented that some addendum to the Y2K manual 
was needed. A look at http://www.r-390a.net/ indicates that a simple text 
addition to the Y2K manual just will not do the wish list justice.

Sixth Al Tirevold WA0HQQ has allowed that the web page he supports at 
http://www.r-390a.net/ could be utilized to support some additional materiel 
if someone was willing to support the collection and editing process.

Seventh Roger (me) offered to mange a list of topics and edit a topic a week 
for a while until we best the topic list to death. 

Eight a call went out for your top ten items you would like to see as topics 
added to the available web pages.

Ninth once the web pages were up dated and settled down, then a CD collection 
of the best of the page could be generated. Getting a hard paper copy would 
be left to the reader as an exercise for their printer. No one is thinking two 
cent could be make printing and sell paper copies. Even Amazon.com is trying 
to get out of the paper selling business.

Tenth, to separate the talk from the walk the first topic to research, 
compile, review and beat to death is the mechanical alignment of the R390 and R390/A 
receivers. 

Ron there was much more as I am sure I missed a few things.
