[aprssig] Combined APRS 1.1 document legalities

[Steve Noskowicz]

There are other free PDF drivers on line as well.  I've used one, but don't recall its name.

I have Word 2007 on Vista Home and it does PDFs ok.  Perhaps a friend or someone else can do the conversion.  You always have the original for your notes.
