[Icom] QSL.NET Info

Sun, 25 May 2003 23:08:19 -0700

Greetings,

It's been a while since I contacted all users of QSL.NET. I hope things 
have been going well for you and that you are using your QSL.NET web site 
and e-mail address. If for some reason you no longer need it please let me 
know your ham call so I can delete your site.

We are at a critical time for funding. Donations have been almost 
non-existent for the last 6 months. I need to remind you again that QSL.NET 
exists only with your support, if you use a web page, list server or e-mail 
here then help us keep it on-line and free. If we do not get financial help 
like all good things it will disappear as we know it today. I realize it is 
easy to take QSL.NET for granted but please help us keep it free by sending 
a donation immediately.....next month may be to late.

Our immediate needs are to build 2 mirror web servers as we have had offers 
to co-locate them gratis, this will help our reliability. The mail server 
and FTP server need to be replaced as they have been spinning for over 2 
years and are seriously overloaded. Again this will only be done with your 
help.  The costs of  bandwidth is still our largest expense.... over $1600 
a month.

ANNOUNCING THE FIRST QSL/QTH RADIO GIVE AWAY.....
