One approach is to let Google do the work. You can limit your search to one website in Google. Put “site:” in front of the domain name you want to search.
For the Nabble archive of the Elecraft reflector, the domain name is: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ <http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/> The Google search looks like this, including a query for “random wire antenna length”: site:elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com random wire antenna length The Google results should look like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=site:elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com+random+wire+antenna+length <https://www.google.com/search?q=site:elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com+random+wire+antenna+length> wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Apr 23, 2016, at 1:49 PM, Phil Wheeler <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ted, > > I use this http://marc.info/?l=elecraft and check subjects in most cases. > Seems to work well. > > 73, Phil W7OX > > On 4/23/16 1:36 PM, Dauer, Edward wrote: >> The question in general is how best to search the reflector archives.
