I was wondering the same thing, Mike. I do recall that Science for the Blind 
had a compilation magazine called radio digest, that was done by a guy near 
buffalo whose name I think was Henry Kuhn, W2IRU. He would choose articles 
from the major ham magazines, QsT, 73 and CQ and read them onto a 5-inch 
reel that was sent out most months. I do think the QsT recordings were done 
by the library of congress back then. SFB had several neat recorded mags, 
though, like popular science and consumer reports. Lou WA3MIX
