[Drake] Admin: Closing the list

[N5ARW]

Sad to see anything boatanchor related pass into history but totally
understand the work involved.  I would suggest yahoo "Drake Radio
Operators" as an alternative, which is a closed group.  The "Drake Radio"
group is unrestricted and seems to be overloaded by spam and advertisements.
