groups.io is a reflector, but it also keeps an archive and does other stuff. I’ve been managing mailing lists for decades and groups.io is very good. But there isn’t really anything wrong with the current Elecraft mailing list, so I wouldn’t expect any changes. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood

This has been discussed on some of the reflectors that I subscribe to. On all of them the move was basically voted down. So I guess user preference is to blame. On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 4:20 PM Neil Foster wrote: > I still wonder why Elecraft a forward looking company uses a "reflector" > like
