Re: [HamBrewers] Re: 73 Magazine: All issues now online- for free

 

Rajesh

It started many months ago on Heathkit Yahoo group and some members got the copyright release from Wayne Green (founder/owner of 73 Mag) who said he had no problem if all issues of 73 magazine were put on the Internet and shared by all. People started sharing the scanned version via Rapidshare due to the massive file size. I got my set on 4 DVD's from someone who was distributing the copies for free. He asked all to send him a SAE (no postage stamp) envelope :-). 

Around then a new yahoo group by name 73 Magazine was created, which is still active with over 126 members. A member by name Howie did most of the hard work. The download from Rapidshare was great excepting for one issue May 1982. The corrected version is now available.  

I think the Rapidshare download is still available. Benefit of download from Rapidshare is you get an entire year (12 issues) in one file at a time. The total file size is exceeding 16 GB. 

I am not trying to say that Steve KB9MWR did not do much. I just wanted to let the group know the presumably parallel activity occurred on this topic.
