Hi Gary,

The A R R L handbook in Braille would be (as my teenage daughter says)
awesome.  I could get the handbook on C D and print it myself, but I know I
wouldn't begin a venture of that magnitude.

Keep me appraised of what is going on - if it isn't too terribly expensive,
I think I would like an accessible handbook after forty years in the hobby.

Thanks.
