Ham Radio Manual Collections Available
Jill and I have grown a little tired of watching the "cd mills" micromanuals and artekmedia putting these up individually on eBay for $10-20 each after shipping (and we're talking about individual manuals from these CDs, not the entire CDs). These were mostly intended to be free internet downloads when they were originally scanned. Some were scanned by us, most by others worldwide, but NONE were scanned by artekmedia or micromanuals, the sharp operators "marketing" them to naive eBay buyers. We're in the business of selling high quality scanned test equipment manuals, not these, so we've gathered them into very large and very inexpensive collections on CD or DVD as listed here, and invite you to please distribute them as heavily as you have time to.. give them to friends, sell them on eBay, send them to free download sites, put them on your club server, take sets to the hamfest and sell them.. give 'em away, sell 'em cheaply, sell 'em dearly, trade them.. some have "source identification" notes in them, some don't. You can see by the prices that we're not trying to profit by the distribution of these, we're only trying to curtail micromanuals, artekmedia, and other such sales professionals from, as BAMA puts it, "profiting from the free labor of others without their permission".
All prices include mailing worldwide and all mailing materials. There are no added fees whatsoever.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING DVDs:
You can see that you can get some these as cheaply as $2/gig by DVD, and that's pretty darned good. However, please understand that at this price we don't accept the responsibility of seeing that you can read them on whatever you have at hand. These are written on a modern Windows-based PC to the .ISO specification, on 16 to 52X DVDs of recent manufacture. They're very generic, but unless you understand what you're doing with data DVDs please order CDs. We can not and will not hold folks' hand and guide them through setting up their particular machine to read these DVDs, nor are they returnable, so if you have any doubt at all about using DVDs for data and/or you don't have access to a generic Windows-based PC capable of reading data from a DVD generated as described, don't get it on DVD, get it on CD.
