For your perusal, a Russian HAM Radio site, of little use to me, as I
don't speak Russian. But, and I have a big but, for some strange reason,
the (I don't know how to put it in computerese), the page that contains
all the links to all the pictures and text used by the page is in
English.

Perhaps whoever compiled their page spoke English. But, and I have a big
but, even stranger, there are numerous PDF files on this page (not
extensive, but interesting), some are of manuals, and some are Service
Manuals, and they are in English.

There are also executable programs. I viewed the instruction manuals for
a couple of radios, they were posted in PDF format, and I saved them to
the drive and scanned them for viruses before viewing. No problems
though. They are in English.

Let me know what you think, perhaps someone knows some of the .exe by
their names.

Go he http://hamradio.online.ru/ftp2/ this is where the files are.

If you click the link at the top on the above page, described as "Parent
Directory", you go he

http://www.cqham.ru/



AH HA! I found an English entrance into the site, so this explains it
somewhat. Anyway, give it a look if you wish.

Anyway, on this page, some of the links do not seem to be adequately
explained. Simply hold the mouse pointer on the various links and the
description will be seen in the script on the bottom of the browser.

There is a guy in Russia and one day I saw a message of his on the
internet about five years ago.He builds little wooden scale models of
cars and trucks and ships.He was wanting to know how and where to
advertise his products in America.I don't remember what all I told
him,but I did help him out in some way.I got an email from him later on
saying,Thank you the better for the kind attention.

Being monolinguistic myself, I have to rely on the "online translation
sites" in order to read some of the foreign pages.

http://babelfish.altavista.com/
http://translation.langenberg.com/ (excellent resource, many languages)
etc.

Anyway, it's quite hilarious to read the pages after they have been
translated from the foreign language into English.

It's better than nothing, and easier than learning 20 languages. Yet the
end result is oft times quite unpredictable.
