I've enjoyed the reflector approach. The forum would allow for more classification and potentially easier searching, but I believe we'll lose responsiveness and "that something" that I sense here on the reflector. __ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On

Therein lies the age old conundrum. Do you use a "pull" mechanism (a forum) requiring a subscriber to go get the information from the site, or a "push" mechanism where the data shows up in the inbox? I've been both a forum admin (even a sysop at CompuServe) and an email admin, so I've dealt with

Like other email lists which convert to a forum, it would change the whole character of the group and interactions. In my mind it would make it less social, less friendly, and fewer people would bother to share their knowledge and experience. I would only visit such a forum if I had my own

Today when operating QRP, the gentleman I was at the park with wanted to compare receiving a CW signal. We weren't comparing rigs but antennas. He had a FT 817. When he tuned to the frequency I was listening to it sounded like someone was tuning up on frequency on his radio. I changed frequencies
