[Lowfer] Lowfer Forum

[Mike Staines]

As for myself, the only thing I am missing is the ability to send 
attachments. But owning several web sites allows me to just post a pic to a 
site then add a link to email, which works OK for me.

With due respect for the poster that offered to set up a web site, I would 
like to offer a service to the group:
I'll just open a directory on my server anonymously for people to post 
things in: Captures, documents, etc. Then just add a link. With a little 
configuration you can even set up a folder on your machine to be mapped to 
this new directory.

Should at least tackle the file sharing problem.

2 cents...

I belong to, and occasionally check out, a wonderful full featured forum - 
AM Fone. This forum would be a model of excellence for anyone considering a 
similar forum. But, from what I can see, those that spend a great deal of 
time posting and replying spend little time actually on the air or doing 
things radio related. It's almost as though the forum is a substitute for 
the real hobby.

For what I do on LF, an e mail list that allows timely announcements, 
reception reports and embedded or attached pix or sound files, is far more 
useful. The former LWCA LF reflector was a good example of a very useful 
tool for the dissemination of information and attachments in a timely 
manner. The LWCA HF reflector still exists with this capability but is 
rarely used. (Still don't understand why the LWCA maintains an HF list but 
not an LF list...)

Guess I just don't have the time or desire to frequent a bulletin board and 
wade through 'human interest' stuff to find something relevant. E mail is 
more efficient and I can press the 'delete' key in mere milliseconds if the 
topic is irrelevant.

Just a personal opinion...no need to stoke up the flame throwers...
