[K3pzn-board] Reflector observation

[Keith Krichinsky]

Does anyone realize that over the past 6 months there have been on average 
less than 20 members using the reflector to post messages.  If you deduct 
the use of the executive board and the BoD, that reduces the number to less 
than a dozen regular users.  That is only 13% of our total membership!

Please correct me if I'm wrong  but, I understand this to be a free or very 
low cost service to the club.  I also understand that all that is asked in 
return for the use of this service, is that proper netiquette be observed 
and that all postings be related to amateur radio and/or club business.

I am of the opinion that we should more actively promote the use of the 
reflector as an important communications medium for ALL of our members.  It 
is a valuable tool for sending and receiving time sensitve information as 
well as a way for fresh ideas and opinions to be offered to other club 
members.  I realize that we can't FORCE any one to use the reflector, but 
the open exchange of ideas is one of the things that makes us one of the 
best run radio clubs in the area!

I'll get off of my soap box now.  Your thoughts, gentlemen.

73's;
Keith Krichinsky, KB3HHK
