In my case, I subscribed as soon as I found it.  But I only found this list 
after Googling around for VHF weak signal mailing lists, and found the
pile of ham lists on QTH, and had a subscribefest.

I don't think this list is very well publicized, and of course the "Ho Hum"
syndrome plays here as well.
