I have received mine also, great! but not PDF, the format are only pages
scanned as .JPG and .TIF, with AView you can search the CD only at the
Titles but at least I have all HR collection.

*AIUI, CQ Publications had been developing this compilation CD through
*its 'Comms Quarterly' magazine, which was supposed to be a successor to
*'HR'. The project was at the review stage when the mag folded, and was
*bought by ARRL and merged into 'QEX'.
*
*It's very good that the project has been revived and brought to market.
*
*John, please can you give us a bit more information on the method of
*presentation (PDF?) and also the indexing and searching capabilities?
*
*Presumably they are scanned graphics images of the pages, so it wouldn't
*be possible to search for individual words or phrases within the text.
*However, 'HR' always had good annual and cumulative indexes, classified
*by subject. If they have made the index entries into fully searchable
*text with hyperlinks, it should be quite easy to find any article. Can
*you confirm/correct these speculations please, John?
