Hi All:
Well I would like to have a copy of the ARRL handbook, but I think it would
be better on cd with a text file for each chapter.  Also, If anything like
this were done, good schematic descriptions would be essentual or the book
would not be very useful.  When I worked for Recorded Periodicals a long
time ago, a friend of mine who was an electrical engineer read the entire
1975 arrl handbook on tape and he described all the schematics and
construction techniques.  He did a sooper job. The thing was on 12 cassettes
at 15/16 speed and four tracks.  Possibly we could talk some one on the ARRL
staff into writing some of the schematic descriptions.   I think the 2002
handbook is around 1000 pages or more, so you know the braille edition with
schematic descriptions would be about 3 times that size or more.
Have a good weekend.
