I am very happy with the reflector as it
is... plain, simple, emails. none of the complexities/frills of Yahoo...
If an archive can be added in some other
way, without altering that, fine...

not a Yahoo group with archives and web access?
Pete,
Thanks for your comments. I am sure that there are several solutions
possible to having some form of accessible archive for information other than
skeds, QSO outcomes, etc. Whilst the current reflector does provide a
fast and simple service expanding it, if indeed it is possible, might bring
admin issues that would need addressing. It may be best to consider the
options, without at this stage planning to close this reflector. To me
some form of Wiki would perhaps be useful, as that might need less management /
admin than say a dedicated website. Do we have someone withing our ranks
who can offer up some suggestions. The key to me would be to find
something where key things can be achived in an easily retrievable fashion, but
with the minimum overhead on administration.

Hi John and group
I think one of the
features of Yahoo and Google groups is that an archive of Circuit,
Photographs, Articles, Grabber dumps and calculations like Markus’ work can
be stored in file (directories) attached to the group. In this way rigs like
Rog’s GW3UEP “Starter” 500kc/s TX could be attached to the group archive. I
think this is one of the greatest missed opportunities with the LF reflector
to build a great body of work open to all and to new entrants.
The Softrock Yahoo
group has a great archive body that all users can delve into which go right
back to the origin of Softrock and is maintained up to the present so any of
the kit info can be down loaded plus support projects that were never kitted
but you can still make them because the info is there.
I have read through the
Black-sheep preamble and there seems to be something similar available in a
DOSy sort of way. If that is so it would be great if it could be used as
suggested above. I think Roger G3XBM was getting at this in his mail if you
read it. A delve-able archive is what is missing here I feel.

Sorry that I've missed
this thread _ I've been away at a place where the phone line was down and 3G,
etc, can't reach - idylic.
As Alan says the reflector has been in operation for many years. It
followed a "group" on packet that started and the messages of which
I collated, roughly monthly, and issued as a newsletter to those not on
packet. I kept all the material for many years, like Peter, G3LDO with
a mind to do something with it, however, whilst there are many gems in it
much was ephemeral. Probably, the best parts have subsequently been developed
and found their place in the RSGB Handbook, LF Experimenters' Handbook and
the like. In those days the group discussed 73 kHz. As e-mail
became more general we moved across to this reflector.
I'm not the Sysop, but I am the link to him. He's just come back to me
and thinks that it is possible to allow a larger files size. He'll look
into it this evening and let me know.
