content: Let's not forget the Radiation Lab at MIThttps://www.jlab.org/info_resources/mitseriesI downloaded all 28 volumes yesterday.There should be a sticky topic of archives like these.There is a huge trove of US Army ECOM (now CECOM) technical reports that are available for the asking. But there's not a permanent website. I stumbled across it while researching multiband dipoles. At present you submit a request, a very nice gentleman transfers them to a Army drop box site where you download them. He sent me a spreadsheet of reports, but it's too large to upload :-( It's just under 2 MB.There is also this:https://discover.dtic.mil/
