Default BAMA Notice

Notice: Effective January 1, 2007, BAMA will add only manuals with a
direct connection to the tube era of ham radio. Only manuals for
amateur radio transmitters, receivers, antenna tuners, antennas,
keyers, etc. will be added to the collection.


Why not also require that diagrams must be properly scanned. Many diagrams on
the site can hardly be read.

People tend to use lossy compression methods (jpg, djvu) that are generally
unsuitable for schematic diagrams. Probably this is an heritage of times when
hard disks had limited capacity and we were still using 56k modems. Today using
djvu or other compression schemes makes little sense. For black and white, gif
or png can give a perfect reproduction with no big files.
