Yes, thanks to Lee Laird's dedication to rounding up those authors and
files for his HamFDN.. After things started slowing down, Lee tried to
continue via email, then ftp, etc., but his family needed him more


Once in a while I get a windows ham file in from authors, not to often though
:(  And not knowing the first thing about Ham radio, I'd be hesitant to start
looking for files..

Take care,
Janis
