I would like a complete copy of the G4FGQ site. There is still much I
can learn from Reg.

I believe we have run the HTTRACK site over bandwidth already. I am
afraid if we all try to download a copy from Reg's site we will over
run it as well. I can also pass it along or place it up as a down load
on my site.

I will miss Reg.

somebody will archive his website.

Hi Jim,

The announcement came from his account, and his computer.

I've archived his site, but for others who wish to do the same, the
best tool for that purpose can be found at:
http://www.httrack.com

This is a website harvesting robot that will replicate an entire
website into the directory of your choice (changing links so that you
can browse it on your system).

Richard, I've just reviewed the url above, and found that I don't know how to
use it to download Reg's web page. I see that you've already downloaded it, so
could I download it from your copy?

Walt, W2DU

Hi Walt,

The paths are tied intimately to my file system hierarchy (which is
pretty deep). Rather, I will give you a walk-thru. In spite of the
apparent complexity (it is a technician's tool), it is quite simple to
use with only two or three particulars to satisfy:
1. As directed on the front page, press the NEXT button;
2. On the next page for Project Name, enter Reg Edwards G4FGQ;
3. Below that (skip the category), click the ellipses button to open
a storage path and select an existing folder the website will be
stored here in a folder named Reg Edwards G4FGQ;
4. Press the NEXT button at the bottom;
5. leave the ACTION selection at "Download web site(s)";
6. past Reggie's top level page,
http://www.btinternet.com/~g4fgq.regp, into the Web Addresses text
box;
7. Press the NEXT button at the bottom;
8. At the next page, Press the FINISH button at the bottom.

This will start the robots harvesting with a view of them on a new
page that shows each robot in its own thread - about half a dozen of
them running simultaneously. Depending on the load at the server, the
entire process should take 5 minutes or so at T1 speeds. The total
download is 4.33MB.

The robot activity screen will disappear at the end of the harvesting.

I can zip up a copy (sorry Reg) and mail it for those who want a copy
that is located at the drive root (I did this down load again to
confirm the steps described above).

I've mirrored the site at

and will keep it there for a while, at least.

This is a terrible shock. Please accept my condolences.

Sometimes the measure of a human life is the size of the empty space
that's left behind. We're going to miss some first-class arguments in
future; and above all, we're going to miss the man.

Reg Edwards was a fine man, and a learned controversialist, who gave as
much entertainment as he took. All of us old wives are going to miss him
immensely.

I just saw this, my condolences to you all.


Reg will be truly missed.

I'm very sorry to hear this news. On this NG and a few similar technical
groups, there are a handful of people whose posts are mandatory reading for
me. Mr. Edwards ranked very high in that list. I've also found his
technical programs to be useful again and again. That's saying something,
considering the wealth of technical programs available on the internet.

His non-technical writings are equally impressive to me. If you haven't
read "A Bit About Reg" recently, take another look.

http://www.btinternet.com/~g4fgq.regp/page2.html#S205

This and some similar diversions in newsgroup posts disprove (for me) the
stereotype of the technologist as being somehow limited outside his narrow
field of expertise.

Here's hoping that wherever he is, the propagation is good, the wine
excellent, and the technical discussions lively and spirited.

That's very sad news. Although we sometimes sparred, I've always admired
and had great respect for Reg's depth of knowledge and his ability to
solve problems at the most basic level -- and his willingness to share
with others. He will be greatly missed.

I am very sorry to hear of his passing!
I hope that another ham can be entrusted to take over the library of very
useful programs that
he so generously made available to us!

Best Regards,

I am sorry to hear this.
Reg gave me a lot more understanding of antennas.
His programs were small and simhttp://www.btinternet.com/~g4fgq.regp/ple to
use.
The are still to be found at http://www.btinternet.com/~g4fgq.regp/
I hope it will stay as it is as a monument.
I will miss him.
