Hi Thomas<\/p>\n

Back in December, I reported on the SWLing Post<\/em><\/a> that I had made the Utility DXer’s Handbook from 1971 available online via the Internet Archive.<\/p>\n

I am now pleased to report that I have added a PDF file for this out of print publication, in addition to the existing JPEG format.<\/p>\n

It can be found via the same link to my archive.org page at:<\/p>\n
