[KYHAM] E-Mail Address Change For Ky SEC

[Ron Dodson]

Effective as of today, please change your e-mail address book 
entry from the ka4map at bbtel.com address.

This ISP started using a scanning software back in February of 04 
which turns off users who do not meet the expectations of the 
scanning software. Anyone sending what it considers too much 
e-mail traffic or doing anything else it considers unusual is 
automatically turned off.  Once off, you have to wait until their 
help desk opens and turns you back on. If it caught virus 
infected people this would be fine, but all it does is decide if 
you act "normal" or not. As coordinator for a 1,000 + member 
amateur radio volunteer organization plus my EMA e-mail traffic,I 
guess I am severely abnormal!

After having been repeatly shut down for extended weekend periods 
while the help desk is closed I have decided it is time to change 
ISP's and go to one with a 24/7 service in case I do have a 
problem.  Effective this date I will be using ka4map at iispky.com . 
  The KyHam web site's automatic e-mail composers and forwarders 
will soon be updated to reflect this change and I hope it will 
create a minimum of hardship for all of you.  I will hang on to 
the bbtel until the service runs out on the 26th and then it will 
be inactive. I am also dropping the kysec at hotmail address as spam 
is getting heavier there than the legit traffic.
