[Elecraft] Slow Web Site

[Robert McGwier]

Good luck.  I have tried for A YEAR to get Waller just to give me
my password so I could delete the horrid page I have desperately
tried to get access to.  It worked for a week, but not until I
sent a donation.  I have been unable to access since.  There is
just a huge volume of stuff housed on qsl.net.  It is a real shame
to see it dying a painful death.

I'm afraid qsl.net has become a dead loss. I shall probably close my own
qsl.net site, as it's a waste of time at the moment. It's entirely the
fault of hams themselves, who will spend thousands of bucks on equipment
but expect everything on the internet to be free. I coughed up a donation
when asked to a couple of months back, but according to an email Al (the
owner of qsl.net) sent out, the vast majority didn't, despite the fact that
they could even win a transceiver. Decent servers and connectivity don't
grow on trees, they cost money. But nobody wants to pay for them, it seems.

Rant over.

G'day,

I've been trying to download the construction manual for the EA3BLQ K2
digital interface.  The site:

http://www.qsl.net/ea3blq/download_ang.htm

Is pathetically slow, <1000 bytes/sec and for a 2.4Mbyte download that is
not an option.  Anyone know another source?

Regards,
