Dear QSL.net/ARC5 users,

We hope you are enjoying the services we provide, such as free Web Hosting, Email Forwarding, Mailman Mailing Lists and DX Log Search. You are one of over 70,000 hams taking advantage of these services!

It's been a year and a half since our last system-wide email to users.

Since taking over the QSL.net systems, we have seen continued growth in server resource and bandwidth usage. Thanks to your financial support, we are able to improve the system response times with server CPU and memory upgrades, and fund the costs for increased bandwidth, to keep QSL.net services running efficiently.

We are subscribed to a business-class spam filtering system for our QSL.net Email forwarding users. The spam filtering system has been very successful and has dramatically decreasing the amount of spam seen by our users.

QSL.net is dedicated to the sole purpose of furthering the abilities and interests of the Amateur Radio Community, with free Internet services for hams. QSL.net now needs to ask you for something in return: Your financial support.

QSL.net exists solely on your donations!

In addition to the costs for the spam filtering system and the on-going costs for data center bandwidth and hardware, we also have hundreds of hours of time involved in answering support tickets, programming and maintaining the Self-Help and Ticket systems, troubleshooting various web, email, mailing list and FTP issues, etc.

Would you be willing to put something in our Tip Jar to say "Thank you"?

You can make a donation at: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

You can donate via PayPal, Credit Card, Check or Money Order. Your donation will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Thank you for your support!
