[time-nuts] BAMA scaling back

[Bruce Lane]

Fellow techies in all groups (that I subscribe to),

	I just found the following on Usenet from BAMA's owner. It seems that storage is becoming a problem for him. I'm posting this to all four groups I subscribe to because it could potentially affect anyone who's searching for documentation on older gear.

Subject: BAMA Notice
From: Kenneth Grimm <kgrimm at adelphia.net>
Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors

Notice:  Effective January 1, 2007, BAMA will add only manuals with a
direct connection to the tube era of ham radio.  Only manuals for
amateur radio transmitters, receivers, antenna tuners, antennas,
keyers, etc. will be added to the collection.   The only test
equipment that will be added will be those items already listed on the
"Needed" list and those items created especially for the amateur radio
market.

While I appreciate all the contributions of those whose interest is in
test equipment and military equipment, I simply cannot continue to
expand the BAMA collection in these areas at this time.  I will not be
removing the test gear and military manuals currently on BAMA.  The
BAMA collection will remain intact.  I just won't be adding to these
areas for the time being. 

I want to thank any and all of you who are reading this and have
contributed to the BAMA collection.  Without your time and effort,
BAMA would not have been possible.  Thanks again and best wishes to
all for the holidays.

73,
