Hi Chris that would seem about what I was seeing BUT I dont know what time
zone time they are using.....you have to be careful about this, because some
UK posting are timed in Eastern Standard Time (US). BTW it is not unusual
for Yahoo posting to be delayed a couple of days !! Its advantage is that it
has extra facilities, but generally inside the UK I have not found it any
quicker. Its disadvantage is it needs an "owner" and a couple of deputies,
all of who need to put some time in to managing it.
The problem is that Majordomo dates from the days of dial-up modems at
9600Bd and text only messages, but it doesnt have adverts !!

Hi LF,
Thanks to those who have commented on delays. The message saying Stefan was
going to send 2min dashes on 137.777, when I looked at the message
properties, was sent at 1534 and arrived here at 1623. Not ideal.
Chris, G4AYT.

Sorry to go on about this, but a Yahoo Groups version of the LF-reflector
would serve our needs better IMHO.
A group for sub-9kHz has already been set up. See
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sub9khz/ , but it would take 5 mins for
moderators here (are there any?) to set up the direct equivalent of this
group on Yahoo with all the advantages of web based message reading (if
required/preferred - users choose), 100GB photo storage, full message
archives and search facilities, file storage, polls, databases, ability to
moderate, ban mal-content members, etc etc.

Hi Chris, I am on BT Internet as well and I am getting messages within 4
mins when posted by UK stations. Certainly one of the mesages from
Germany
took nearly half an hour to come through, so it may be congestion
en-route.
Reflector messages are 2nd priority to a lot of ISPs, and nodes.

LF,
Is anyone else experiencing long delays with messages being relayed by
this
site? It's rather screwing up keeping track of what Stefans up to here.
Chris, G4AYT.
