[Drake] This list? Keep it or not?

[Larry Flaitz]

 I would keep it "rolling over in standby", if it isn't too much trouble. Yahoo keeps configuring and re-configuring, so I wouldn't be too surprised if they were to decide to drop their "Groups" feature in search of profit or whatever. Regards, Larry, W2DDG

Hi Jim,

Over the years I have observed that membership changes sometimes occur in a 
'group' instead of individuals. Generally this is temporary.

There has been a "lack of interest" in all things radio since about a year 
ago. Most is due to propagation instability. Some Saturday's the 
Hallicrafters 40 meter Net is very busy, other Saturday's it is starving for 
checkins! Hams are frustrated because they never know if the band is going 
to have useable propagation or be pretty much dead. Hence they are not as 
focused on radio as they used to be.

Where the list is located does not make much difference, generally speaking, 
of course. But any list does need to have knowable and active Hams that are 
willing to share their wisdom with subscribers.

I would urge you to keep the Drake list going Jim. But if you decide to drop 
it, I would be willing to keep an ear on it, as I truly believe it is a 
valuable list. I would hate to see it gone.
