Although what follows appears in the first of the month 'mailman' subscriber
notice, I am reposting it here because many of you do not read your subscriber
list notice.	
	
QTH is in serious financial trouble. If we do not help financially, it will
cease to exist in several months. This is not a fntasy, this is a cold hard
fact. Do nothing and they will be only a memory by the end of the year. 	
	
Take a few minutes and just consider the benefits you get out of any one of the
QTH.net lists annually. General information, technical assistance, specialized
information on all sorts of topics and equipment, reports from listeners of MW,
LW, SW, VHF, beacons and etc., state Ham lists, a forsale area, help with
computers, ability to post for a wanted item and dozens and dozens more. How
will you feel when this is no more?	
	
Just join some other lists somewhere? Sure, you can do that. But you will NEVER
find the incredible population of technical expertese located on the QTH.net
lists, the absolutely fantastic treasure trove of information that just does not
exist elsewhere, the depth of knowledge from a diverse group that knows about
every facet of the radio hobby that anyone could ever want to know and the most
caring and helpful Hams and radio hobbyists to be found anywhere on this planet.
This is absolutely priceless! Once it is gone, it is gone! Do not be that
foolish to let this unequaled resource of information die, because if you do, we
will live to regret our own stupidity. 	
	
Please send Al Waller, K3TKJ whatever you can manage. If all of us sent him a
dime, he would have cash coming out his ears. But the sad truth is, about one
tenth of one percent of us send him anything. There is no such thing as a free
lunch, it costs money for the antacids to get rid of the indigestion! So read
what follows and help as much as you possibly can. The answer to one technical
question, the finding of one piece of much wanted equipment or the profit from
the sale of one rx/tx is worth something, so please keep QTH.net up and running.

QTH mailing lists are funded by user contributions. We are CRITICALLY
short of funding and request your support. It does not have to be a big
donation, the average contribution is about 15 dollars. With the
number of users we have it should only be necessary to donate every
few years, BUT.... most of you are ignoring these requests. The same
users keep the QTH lists alive and it's not proper to expect them to
continue this forever. If you use these lists and they are important
to you then help us, otherwise they will be gone in a few months.

QTH lists are for Hams and are operated by Hams, we strive to keep the
lists private, spam free and a fun place to increase your knowledge,
meet new friends and play radio in general. Our hobby is being
attacked from all directions at the moment and now more than ever we
need your support to keep this venue open.
