[HCRA] Change this list to Yahoo?

[gjcollins at cox.net]

Hello everyone,

I've probably mentioned this to other board members, but I guess it won't 
hurt being repeated here.  I experience with Yahoo Groups has been very 
good.  I belong to a number of Amateur Radio specialty groups and find them 
useful.  The Web site seem to function well and the extra features can be 
very useful.  I would encourage the move to Yahoo as long as it isn't going 
to place an undue burden on our Web master, KK1W.

73,

George, KC1V
