BAMA and safari

[K5UJ]

Anyone know what you have to do to ftp a file from BAMA with Safari?  I have up on safari and tried ftp with line commands at the terminal window line command prompt.  you get prompted for a password, usually an email addr.  I've tried every standard ftp password and my email addresses and none of them work.  Is there a way to get Safari to work with this?  I get a popup window that says unable to connect to the server at the addr. you specified  try again later error -36

How do you guys running OS X get files off BAMA?  TNX & 73

I heard once that bama had very limited capacity for anonymous uses to ftp stuff.

So when it asks for a password, it means it's overloaded (too many users downloading something).

I get that message almost every time no matter what browser I use. 

As hro says -- use the mirror.

Thanks guys, i looked at the mirror which mike (sorry I don't remember which mike) kindly pointed me to and the manual was there but in some format I was not familiar with however with enough googling around I found it elsewhere as a pdf, here in fact:

so everything's cool but too bad about BAMA but since it's free I guess I can't complain hi hi.

Sticking with 10.5.8 for the time being.

Rob,
Thanks for posting the manual for the HT-20.  You don't see those transmitters kicking around all that often and I always assumed it was primarily a SSB rig.  It has a lot of nice features including 160 meters.  Many of the rigs of that vintage were simply 80 thru 10.  The audio stages look good and at most, a few simple mod's when done would really produce a FB sounding transmitter. 
Have fun with it!

Go to http://www.caminova.net/en/downloads/download.aspx?id=1 and download the DjVu plugin for Mac. You can then print it to pdf format for the conversion.

Thanks; didn't know that. 

Yes, I've been thinking the HT20 was the last good rig Hallicrafters made because it seems the HT30 series and so on started to get affected by the SSB design scourge that affected later Collins.   But the 20 has the 4D32 like the Vike I, and the 32V series and is modulated not by a couple of 6146s but the more scrotish pair of 807s on the class c 4D32 plate, and looking at the tube specs and so on there looks to be some nice headroom in there if I want to go a bit above 100% positive.   I figure with two 807s the mod. trans. must not be too wimpy either.  Weighs around 100 lbs., great shielding  and can be removed from the cabinet and put in a rack.   Not sure I like the B+ going through the mode switch though but I guess it depends on the switch.   Stock it's supposed to tx audio from 260 to 3000 hz so I'm gg to have to figure out how to bypass the preamp and put a low Z audio into it and de-yellowize it but it looks like it should sit there and pump out 100 w. all day.
