[R-390] HSN Status -- and a poll

[w9ya at arrl.net]

Hey gang;

I just got off of the phone with Ralph Sanserino.

He is emailing me about what, how, etc. of getting back issues. He
mentioned that he only gets about 6 request a year or so for such things.
Further he mentioned that he *WAS* interested in putting them into
electronic format for something like a CD.

Anyways, he asked for an email, which I sent, and I hope to hear back from
him soon about some or all of this.

Oh yeah, he said the previous editor had "compiled" the first 30 issues to
remove the *unnecessary* stuff. <- For what it is worth, if the original
issues are extent, I would rather a CD contain those.

Vy 73 ya-all, and I will let you know what Ralph writes back.

Bob
