[Great-River-DX] meeting business

[Danny Pease]

I have not heard who all is coming to the meeting on Nov 14, but I need to
bring up a couple of items to discuss. If you know you will not be able to
make the meeting, you might want to voice your opinion here before the 14th.

First, we need to address sending a donation to QSL.net for hosting our
email reflector. I propose we pass the hat at the meeting and whatever we
can collect, to send in as a donation to QSL.net. I have been in contact
with the new owner, Scott Neader, KA9FOX, and he suggests $25.00 a year
donation, but will accept whatever we send him. He did say the month of
October he only received $17.00 in donations for the QSL.net users. To this
point, Scott has not made any plea for donations. We have not donated any
money for the reflector use since we first created the reflector. If you did
not know Scott also hosts the QTH.com pages as well. 

Second, what does the group think of the Great River DX Club have its own
web page? I currently have a lot of available space on my personal web page
hosting plan and I can add another domain name to it. My thoughts are to
have a blurb about who we are and maybe a few items for members only. I also
am thinking about putting a web interface to my DX Spider node, so it could
be accessed from the web, as well as telnet and on 2 meters. I could just
add a couple of pages to my current site or we could acquire our own domain
name. Domain name registration is $10.95 a year through KA9FOX.
