As a newbee - I see a wealth of information about Elecraft products,
on this "list". Unless I'm missing something - this "list" isn't the
easiest forum I've used. It seems to be reliant on our personal
email systems - with little more than an "email checker" for incoming
posts. Or am I missing something?
That's one benefit...it's email based...which means you can actually
store messages on your computer.
There seems to be no way of posting anything, or easily responding
to a previous post - short of sending that poster an email. How "replies"
get linked to previous posts isn't explained.
If you reply to the address of the list, elecraft@mailman.qth.net, then
every list member sees the post...which is how the bulk of information here is
shared.
I suspect I'll get used to using it - but there are much more
modern FORUMS BB's out there - which categorize posts,
and all that.
Yes, and, just like rigs, there are folks who wouldn't use a forum based
venue for love or money.
I have a mailing list for drake gear, and a web based forum...and over the years
found that some folks like the mailing list, others prefer the forum, but very
few walk "both sides of the street".
I have a very little used forum online at www.zerobeat.net/qrp/phpBB2/
I'd be happy to add an area for Elecraft related posts, but I suspect it
will not be used.
You can find out a LOT of information from this list by visiting
http://www.ac6rm.net/mailarchive/html/elecraft-list/
It's searchable.

Elecraft makes a great product.
Yes...and in my experience the folks on this list are some of the most helpful
you'll run across...and that's part of the Elecraft Magic.
