I'm interested in LF. I don't have the equipment or the space.. for LF
operation <<<
Well that ain't necessarily so as the song says
With the advent of modern QRP operations , with 500 mW in the Ae and
500 watts in the PC , operating at LF is no longer shrouded in
mists of ego geometry Ae systems !
Many of the stations on 500 are using for transmit , what could best
be described as 80 mtr inverted L's , with 30 to 40 feet vertical
section and either a parasol type of Capacity hat or as much wire as
possible in the horizontal section , Gary used his 35 ft top loaded
'Parasol' the cross the Atlantic on 136 K, at the first attempt using
the Opera beacon, with a couple of hundred watts , using my 35 ft top
loaded inv L on 500 ,( 40 x 20 ft back garden) I managed this >>

<< using a similar power .
Reception by way of the outstanding Mini-whip from Rudolf , or the
main Tx Ae
Offer more than adequate Rx performance , keeping in mind it's the
s/n that's important and not the uV/ Mtr
You never know till you try it !

Another suggestion is to not make it an open group, meaning that each
request for membership should be
accompanied by a very short introductory message explaining why that
membership is requested.
Then the moderator(s) of the group will decide whether to accept it or
not.
I suppose the same is done
presently with the Majordomo mailer.
And, if that introductory message is convincing, but up to a point...
then
the moderator can accept the individual,
but putting him in moderation status, meaning that every message from him
must be examined by the moderator(s)
before being published. The moderation status can be removed after a
couple
of legitimate messages from the guy,
showing that he is not a troll or spammer.
I see where you're coming from, but there's probably more than me on
here who are just lurkers, and we'd be excluded because we don't post.
I've been signed up to the list for months (nearly a year?) purely
because I'm interested in LF. I don't have the equipment or the space
for LF operation but I've followed the achievements that have been
made between some of the members on this list and it always makes for
interesting reading.
Running a mailing list isn't difficult, but Yahoo groups is probably
the best way to go. Those who want to get the messages by e-mail
notice no difference, and there's the occasionally useful extras if
needed.
My 2p worth!
