There is an Amsat-BB digest with links to the hyperarchive at
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/8653/digest.html

It contains some of the earlier posts on the drake downconverter.  If you
absolutly cannot get access to the web let me know and I'll see if I can send
a copy by email.  Also the Feb 98 (I think) QST has an article on the
downconverter.
