Sorry, I should have included the full information. I ordered it from the
Radio Bookstore & Radioware via Fax (603) 899-6826, after exchanging e-mail:
radware@radio-ware.com. Their phone number is: (603) 899-6957 or 800-457
7373. The price is $19.95 plus S & H. I dealt with a Craig Clark, W1JCC.
Their mailing address is: PO Box 209, 47 Fitzgerald Rd., Rindge, NH 03461.
