John,
I appreciate your work on the LWCA website and the Lowdown all these many years.
As for Ted being just a private individual, that's true, but aren't we all just hobbyists
fooling around with this stuff? Ted stepped up with great software and and a good server/ISP
solution and it definitely fills a niche. I've watched other forums, some have endured for years
under one owner such as the AM Forum and the Class-E Forum and they do fill a purpose, though they
are run by individuals rather than a club. Prior to the AM Forum, there was the AM Window, which was a forum
and web site. The transition from AM Window to AM Forum was very smooth - the AM Window
webmaster couldn't manage the day to day of moderating a forum so he turned over the Forum part and
maintained the web presence of the AM Window.
I'd like to help with the 600 meter area for The Lowdown, but I've been struggling with what I could
put in it that hadn't appeared on a web site or e-mail reflector long before the printed magazine
reaches its subscribers. Its a dilemma that all magazines are facing these days.
I know that there are at least some Lowdown subscribers who don't have a computer or are not on the Internet,
but I think this must be a very small number?
If you have any ideas on this let me know, I'd be glad to help.
