Hi;
Just as a matter of curiosity, can someone explain how to edit a .PDF file? What are the steps? Is it possible to "convert" the file into one which could be read by MS Word or Word Perfect? This would simplify the process by not having to re-type the entire 350+ pages for those individuals having anything to contribute.
Thanks
Bob

I just revisited the Y2K Errata page on Al's web site.
Struck by a couple of things:
1. 12 pages of Errata and proposed additions. I don't know how much of
this got resolved in the revision, however, David Wise pointed out some
elements that seemed to be missing -- not only from the Y2K but other mil
manuals (chart entries on coils or something like that.). I suspect not
everything was resolved from this.
2. The major part of the errata was compiled by David Wise (thanks Dave!),
some by Jim Bunting, Norman Ryan, Bruce Maclellan, Walter Wilson, Al Solway
and others.
Anybody hear from Norman Ryan lately? I don't recall seeing any posts.
Anyway, this work should be re-reviewed vs. the revised manual to see that
everything got in, though I suspect the missing stuff may still be missing.
No sense in re-inventing wheels until advantage has been fully taken of the
work that was done.

Those color id photos in the Y2K-R2 could be redone a lot clearer as well as
ones not done previously. If memory serves me, the originals were taken on
film by Dan Arney. I scanned them prior to annotating them. That whole
process fuzzied them up a little. If they were now done with a digital
camera I bet they would look super.

Hi Pete
Hank says he has a new hi-res camera -- also has a large assortment of loose
modules as models.
You might be able to lift the original callouts you did and superimpose over
new photos, then make a few adjustments for accuracy of positioning of the
pointer lines.
The photos I listed had not been done at all yet, so starting from scratch
on those.

As one of those that's outside of the ham community and looking
in, I have to agree with Dan Arney about the basic necessities
of running the QTH operation. They have to be immense.
Al is doing nothing short of a phenomenal job of keeping this
invaluable resource available to not only the ham community, but
also the radio community a whole, and I certainly don't want to
take the chance of seeing it disappear.
None of us can automatically 'assume' that there will always be
someone else to foot the bills, or do the work, or that it will
always be here. We all know about that cliche' concerning the
word 'assume'...
That's precisely why I sent my check for $25.00 about a week
ago, and why I'm hoping that everyone else will stop whatever
thay are dong for a moment, pull out that checkbook, and write
that check (no matter what the size may be) and send it on to
Al. We all need to let him know that the many efforts that he
makes on OUR behalf are gratefully appreciated by us ALL.
It's the RIGHT thing to do...

Plus, right now, if you donate $25 you get 1 chance at winning a brand new
Icom 756 Pro 3 do be drawn on Jan 15, 2006. Fifty bucks gets you 3 chances
and a hundred bucks gets you 10. So, here is a chance to help out this
great resource plus possibly win a great radio (ya, know, it's not an R390
or R390A but it is still a great radio). BTW, I have no affiliation with
QTH.NET, just sent in a donation like others and love the service Al (and
his helpers) provide.
Happy New Year

Message-ID: <253.3d7f9be.30e1d705 at aol.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
I received a note from one of the directors at Radiostation Grimeton in
Sweden that they are considering a wintertime cw transmission of SAQ 17.2KHz when
conditions are optimum for worldwide reception on VLF. He asked if there was
any particular day, time of day and month of year that would be best for radio
amateurs and radio hobbyists to listen for their signal. I told him I thought a
Sunday morning transmission would be optimum when most radio amateurs are
home from work and radio noise is usually quietest on a Sunday and that January
and February are the best months of the year for low static on VLF. Does this
sound good to most everyone here? He said they have run into problems in the
past with cooling water for the Alexanderson Alternator bearings being too
chilly in the winter months but they are working to fix that problem. This would be
a great opportunity for more hams worldwide to listen to their VLF
transmission under optimum conditions. Now would be a good time of year to pull out your
R-389s, SRR-11's, RAKs, RBAs and other cool tube and solid state VLF boat
anchor receivers from storage to make sure they are still working properly!
Conditions are great on LF/VLF right now! I will pass along any news if they
decide to go ahead with a wintertime transmission! 73 Todd WD4NGG.
