[KYHAM] QSL.NET financial situation update...

[Pat Spencer, KD4PWL]

Everyone,
	I received an email yesterday about the need for consistent funding 
for QSL and QTH.NET.  Al Waller, K3TKJ operates systems that support 
this listserv, the KYHAM Web Site, and numerous club and organizational 
web sites/listservs throughout KY without cost or obligation.  He also 
does it WITHOUT advertising.
	Because of this, he relies on donations from users like you and I.  He 
has asked that if you, your club/organization enjoy the facility, and 
feel it is a real asset to you and your group to consider making a 
yearly donation, of an amount you choose to help with the 
hardware/software and bandwidth costs of the systems.  I don't have 
exact figures, but from I have seen over the years of the setup there, 
it is in the tens of thousands of dollars.
	This will prevent the sudden panics that occur from time to time when 
funding runs out.
	For more info on the facility at QSL.NET visit

Thanks for listening...let's all try to help Al
