- I'm looking for a CD of HFTA. I went to grab mine today and found it cracked. Anyone have a copy I can beg, borrow or steal? Thanks & Aloha, Lloyd KH6LC ______________________________________________

- Well, ARRL paid N6BV's salary when he was writing it, and the two of them have chosen to distribute it with the Antenna Book. That's a great reference, well worth owning. 73, Jim K9YC _______________
