I have about 25 GB of manuals on my web site www.ko4bb.com, with new uploads almost daily, and unlimited storage space. Feel free to upload to your heart content :)

I used BAMA as an example. If there really is a problem storing manuals online, it wouldn't be difficult to start a similar website. I'm going to check with a contact I have at archive.org to see if they want to store manuals. I have over 20GB of manuals on my desktop. -----Original Message----- From: "Dave M" <dgmin...@mediacombb.net> Sender: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2011 11:08:46 To: <time-nuts@febo.com> Reply-To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement <time-nuts@febo.com> Subject: Re: [time-nuts] manuals, anyone? >> I think a simple solution is anyone that gets a free manual has to >> scan it and upload it to BAMA or some other free manual website. > > Nice in theory.

According to the note on the edebris mirror page, the main BAMA site has been down for "repairs and upgrades" since 9/17/2009; almost 2 years ago. Will the main site ever come back online, or has it been written off permanently? Also, as I remember, there was a note somewhere on the site that the owner(s) of the BAMA site were no longer accepting manuals for test equipment... only real "boat anchors" such as tube type radios, ham gear, etc. Am I remembering correctly, or was there a different restriction or has the restriction been removed? I know that I tried to upload a couple Tektronix manuals that I had scanned, but they never showed up on the site.
