Welcome to Vol. 2 Number 10 of the Radio H.F. Internet Newsletter. I would also like to remind everyone that all previous issues of this newsletter can be found at www.anarc.org/cidx/radiohf/index.html [right here! -- Ed.]. We are well into the fall weather here in eastern Canada, as the leaves are turning colour and falling from the trees. The clocks will be set back to Standard time at the end of this month, marking the beginning of the short days and long nights. As you spend some long nights on the Internet, surfing the millions of sites out there, take a moment to share some of your favourites with fellow readers of the Newsletter. Remember that contributors are entitled to a 2% discount on their next purchases from Radio H.F.
Now, on to this month's material. We have a lot of very interesting material once again. Thank you to all our contributors. I would still like to see many more of you contributing though. The Newsletter is being sent out now to over 1000 e-mail addresses. Certainly we can come up with a few more of you who have something to contribute. Any comments which you may have about the Newsletter are always appreciated.
In the Publicity Zone this month, I will be telling you about a special pre-publication offer on some new books arriving shortly, such as the Passport to World Band Radio, the new ARRL Antenna Book, the 2001 edition of the ARRL Handbook, and the National Radio Club's 21st edition of the AM Radio Log.
You are encouraged to send along any contributions, comments or suggestions for the Newsletter to hfnewsletter@yahoo.com.All subscribers' e-mail addresses are kept private and confidential. To add or remove yourself from the distribution list of this newsletter, simply contact Sheldon by e-mail at the new address of hfnewsletter@yahoo.com.
