Phil,
Thanks for the post. Since I8CVS passed I had wanted to bring up a subject but was a bit hesitant. I8CVS had a mountain of information. He helped me with many things. It may seem a bit selfish but I regret that not only is he a SK but all that information is lost. It probably became a victim of the same 'paper eradication campaign' you described that will destroy your docs.
Some info used to wind up on pages like this. http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/softwareArchive.php#win I hope the docs you shared wind up on some "permanent" web site.
I am sure a recipe for gluten-free muffins or a youtube video of a cat wearing a dress dancing the polka would generate more interest than our old stuff from the old days but it would be a shame if it was lost.
Must run - my garden full of kale needs tending, I have an appointment at the tattoo parlor and I need to pick up a new selfie stick to replace the one I wore out.
tnx & 73 W9KE

Way back in 1980 when I first got interested in amateur satellites and AMSAT, I wrote off to Eimac Corporation for their "Moonbounce Notes" collection.
While on a household paper eradication campaign I came across them and scanned them. I thought others might enjoy a look back at some bleeding-edge ham activities from the mid-late 1970s. It's particularly amusing to see how much effort was spent just tracking the moon with the technology then available.

This is a raw collection of pdf files, but the file names are pretty descriptive. Collect the entire set!
If anybody has any notes missing from my collection, please let me know.
