Unfortunately, the SwapNet Newsletter contains numerous components that are “graded” as SPAM, causing automatic filters to engage, deleting without recipient's (your) knowledge or permission. Adding the source email address to your contact list may help but consult your ISP for “whitelisting” details.

Please try to introduce this concept to the “mass unwashed”… Avoid alienating these otherwise well-meaning users. They will often respond to any criticism by simply deleting you from their “Joke/Buddy list”. While this might have the desired end effect, remember: “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”. Forwarding ANYTHING to “Everyone You Know!!!", propagating ignorance/hate mongering emails, not stripping “TO:” headers, indiscriminate clicking of unverified/“unsubscribe me” links, not fact checking and responding to unsolicited emails (sheesh, how many misplaced Royal Fortunes can you launder in a week?) all indicate cluelessness and contribute to the problem.

Newest postings appear near each list end, float up and expire after six weeks. Phone numbers are 512 area code, unless otherwise specified. ATX area now has 512 and 737 exchanges. Actual on-air Net participation is preferred but SwapNet Newsletter updates can be emailed to: [email protected]. Along with a short description of the item(s), be sure to include your name, callsign, phone number/email and an asking price. We’d like for the Austin SwapNet to be primarily an Amateur Radio Swap List. Items for sale/trade should be actual Amateur Radio equipment or –directly- related. While most Radio, Electronic, Computer & Test Equipment is acceptable, listing an auto, RV or house because it has, or could be traded for Ham gear is a tad questionable. NCS reserves the right to skip any on-air listing if they feel it would compromise their license status… SwapNet does not claim to be and indeed, is not in competition with any forum- internet or otherwise; Ebay, QRZ, Eham, Craigslist, etc. This venue encourages Austin locals to comfortably trade into and out of ham gear, period! We do think the personal touch of an approachable, experienced team of AARC Elmers and NCS’s makes for a value-added experience. It should go w/o saying, but AARC assumes –NO- liability for 3rd party items. Be sure to ask all pertinent questions before entering into -any- purchase or exchange. Please feel free to copy or forward as you wish, giving proper acks to AARC. AUSTIN_SWAPNET_HEAD 14-Feb Austin SwapNet HAVE List www.AustinHams.org *= call before ~9PM mungification: at=@ dot=.
