The objective of the List is to establish a reliable e-mail link that allows for the exchange of quality technical and operating information regarding Premium-Receivers. The List operates within a set of established guidelines and is limited to qualified members only. The Premium-Rx list is here to serve the selected members of our fraternity in an enjoyable manner in keeping with the collegial spirit of friendship in a framework of technical excellence.

A "Premium Receiver" will incorporate state-of-the-art design for the period in which it was manufactured, and exhibit the highest levels of quality in components and manufacturing techniques associated with “high-end” specifications.  In addition, other receivers of limited production or rarity are considered to be premium, as are certain transceivers that incorporate a premium receiver.  A receiver that is the subject of any other internet reflector or newsgroup, however, is not normally considered a topic of discussion on the Premium-Rx List.  For instance, the Collins R-390 is a magnificent radio, but we do not want to diminish the many other avenues for R-390 discussion by including them here.

A spammer will send a person or computer robot to subscribe to the list, and, over the following months, glean names and email addresses from the posts to add to their databases.  We want to protect the integrity of our list, and prevent our subscribers from becoming possible targets for these spammers. In this regard, we humbly request that all applicants provide a form of positive identification. This can be your name and telephone number, or the name of an existing list member who can identify you, or your ham call sign.  I am saddened that this must be requested of you, but by so doing, we hope to maintain the professional quality for which we have become known, and eliminate those human or robotic applicants who might spam the membership.  Just like a fine receiver, selectivity is important!

Please send some background information about yourself that you might want to share (QTH, Amateur license, SWL interests, etc.), and perhaps even what receivers presently pique your interest.  Again, thank you so much for considering this list to augment your interest in fine radio receivers.  We certainly look forward to reading your posts and sharing information with you.
