[Elecraft] Elecraft users sked website

[Dale Boresz]

Folks,

I've noticed quite a few postings recently, related to finding a means 
by which Elecraft users can set up skeds with other Elecraft users, or 
to simply make it known that they will be QRV at some particular time.

I've created a website which may help to facilitate this. It's very 
preliminary, very plain, and at this point only allows users to announce 
when and where they will be QRV, but it has the potential to become much 
more.

You can access it at:  http://168.103.66.233/kqrv (Best viewed using 
Microsoft's Internet Explorer, but other browsers should work as well)

If for some reason you cannot access the site, please let me know. My 
firewall may need some adjustment.

The application requires users to establish accounts, so before you can 
log in, you'll have to create yourself an account. Just click the "New 
Registration" button, and fill out the short form. When you submit the 
registration, a confirmation screen will appear with a "Login" button 
which will take you back to the login screen, where you will then be 
able to log-in using the username and password that you created. The 
reason for the 'account' concept is so once a user logs in, the system 
can then allow that user to modify his own postings, and will also 
pre-populate some of the fields on the forms. Currently there is a 
session timeout of about 20 minutes, which only means that once you log 
in, you'll be able to jump around the site at will for as long as you 
wish - unless you allow 20 minutes to elapse without navigating to any 
menus, at which point your session is terminated and the system no 
longer knows who you are. You'll have to log-in again if you wish to 
continue. This timeout can be lengthened to any value, and eventually 
will be made longer.

Currently, there are three operations that can be performed:
- You can create and edit your User Profile
- You can view the current QRV entries, and add new ones
- You can edit your own QRV entry, after it has been submitted, if desired

The site will automatically remove entries that are older than 
approximately one hour. There are a few 'test' entries already entered.

Please feel free to use the application, and provide feedback on ways to 
improve it.
