[Lowfer] Lowfer Forum

Mike,

     We DON'T NEED ANOTHER SOFTWARE SOLUTION!!! 

With all respect what you are offering seems to be a less eloquent, less user friendly and almost certainly less well organized version of the Ted's Lowfer Forum.

    Ted's forum was a thing of beauty, pity that it had to be killed.

      Jay makes an excellent point about the lack of new blood.  Think about the problem in the larger context:
       It's difficult to radiate a signal on LF.
       It's difficult to navigate the bureaucracy to get a Part 5 license.
       I have an idea - lets make things MORE DIFFICULT by dispersing the information in tiny bits around the web and various publications.
       Wait a second - that's the way things are now!
       Is it a wonder why we can't attract new talent!
       Maybe we need to up the ante and have people learn a secret handshake or sign in blood before joining the longwave brotherhood!

      As Jay has pointed out the AM Forum has become a resource of technical, regulatory and practical information and there is no comparison for LF.

      There - got that off my chest :-)

this new directory.

Should at least tackle the file sharing problem.
