[HCRA] Web page changes

[kx1x at arrl.net]

Take it from someone with deltoid tendonitis  (tennis elbow for the computer enthusiast),
the larger keyboard (an ergo one if its available) is the better go.  That tiny laptop keyboard
pulls both hands together in an unnatural position, also numbers are easier to find and
work on the numeric keypad for some users.

This (and most field day discussion) might be better moved to the hcra-fd discussion group.
We'll try to leave the main HCRA list free of the more intense field day and contesting
QSOs, so as not to fill up the mailboxes of those members not interested in the subject
matter.

To subscribe to the hcra-fd list, send an e-mail to: hcra-fd-subscribe at yahoogroups.com
Once subscribed, to post a message use:  hcra-fd at yahoogroups.com

Thanx,
