I send you an email (reprinted below) back on December 8th and have not heard back from you yet. Forgive the retransmission if you just have not got around to my request yet. If not.. here it is again. Thanks for your help. 73 Paul N6EV -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Maty, Back on November 6th, you, on the behalf of the ARRL, graciously gave our internet "Glowbugs" group permission to make a few copies of select historical technical articles from early QST magazines (ref: attached Email below from yourself to Robert Keys, NA4G on 11/6/96). Since that time, interest and excitement has grown in our group about constructing some modern day versions of the simple 40s/50/60s style transmitters and receivers as depicted in the period QST magazines and "The Radio Amateur's Handbooks". Many in our group have wanted to share their favorite tube gear construction articles and schematics from issues of QST and the "Handbook" with others within the group. With the relative rarety of some of these issues and books it is essential that we pool our archive resources to further our charter (ie., the building/testing/learning about early receivers and transmitters). After reviewing the initial grant of permission that you extended our group last month, I thought it would be appropriate to formally request expansion of that permission to include various tube gear construction articles and schematics from later editions of QST and add permission to include construction articles and schematics from the "Handbook". In each case, we would have the proper "reprinted with permission from [issue date] QST (or Handbook)". Again, thank you for the initial grant of permission, and consideration of our request. Sincerely, Paul F. Carreiro, N6EV carreiro@barepower.net Included Email: > From maty@arrl.org Wed Nov 6 09:23:57 1996 > Message-Id: > Date: Wed, 6 Nov 1996 08:54:00 -0500 > From: "Weinberg, Maty" > Subject: RE: Request permission to use serveral o > To: rdkeys > > Robert, > > You may make copies of the article outlined below for distribution > to the "Glowbugs."
