Links To Technical Information
Here's where you can get some of that hard to find information.  Much of it is held right here,
at the Rochester VHF Group's web site.   Many are links to other sites.  If you find a link that
doesn't work, please let us know so we can remove or change it.  We make every attempt to
give credit where it is due.  If you find that we've slipped and misdirected credit, please let us know. 
As far as we are aware, this site contains information considered to be in the public domain.

Periodically, we verify that the links are working.   If we find one that fails, we will note that, but
leave the link in place until we determine that the link is no longer maintained.

NOTE - These are old links! PLEASE let the webmaster know what's good and bad!
