Hi Jim and all, If you have anything you need to upload to BAMA please let me know as I will be happy to do it if you have problems. I have scanned a bunch of stuff and uploaded and will be happy to help anyone out.
I ask that you email me in advance that you are going to send a file and would appreciate knowing the size of the file. 73 Larry WA9VRH ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Wilhite" <[email protected]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 2:13 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] FTP Program > Hi Jim Tonne and gang, > > I used Smart FTP for years and when I bought a new computer > recently, I noticed that they wanted to charge for the program.
