TCRC Newsletters On-Line

From this page, you can download the available issues of The Repeater, the quarterly newsletter of the Twin Cities Repeater Club. Note that some of the files are quite large, and so downloading may not be advisable on a slow internet connection.

Recent files are available in the form of a Microsoft Word Document (doc file), and an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF file). Use the appropriate links below to make your choice. Note that if you pick the Microsoft Word format, you will need to select the "Print Layout" view for the document to make full sense. Also note that the Word version can be modified once you download it, so be careful if you don't want to damage it. The PDF version can only be modified by using Adobe Acrobat (not the free Acrobat Reader), and automatically displays as it should, so it may be more desirable for you to download in some cases. In case your're wondering, I use MS Word to create the newsletter, then I convert it to PDF format (yes, I own a copy of the commercial Adobe Acrobat program), and give the PDF file to the printer. They print our newsletters right from the digital file, to maintain maximum print quality.

Older issues exist as paper copies, which have been scanned as graphic image files, then imported into a PDF format. Original machine-readable source files do not exist for these. My thanks to Keith Kaiser, WAØTJT, a former newsletter editor, who is starting to send me some of the old issues for me to share with all of you.

In 2003, all four newsletters were published. In 2004, 2005, and 2006, only three were published per year. The plan for 2007 is to publish 4 issues as "usual", but to distribute only two of them on paper, and the other two only electronically. Only three issues were produced, and the first issue didn't get created until the middle of the year (June). So far, in 2008, we seem to be on the same (late) schedule!

Also note, if you have possession of any other issues of the newsletter (those not here) in machine readable format, I would be happy to accept them for inclusion on this page! As you can see, I found a few files from the year 2000, but would love to fill out the collection more thoroughly. If you were a former editor of The Repeater, or otherwise have access to machine-readable versions of the newsletters, please send them to us. If you have old paper issues and have a way to scan them, it would save me a lot of work if you could do those steps for me and then pass them along to me to convert to the final PDF version for inclusion here on the web site.

You are always encouraged to send contributions for future newsletters to the newsletter editor, W0KF@tcrc.org, so that we don't fail to publish all of the scheduled quarterly issues in the future! Remember, it's your newsletter, so your input is always welcome!
