[Premium-Rx] Reflector Tech Problem

[Marc Balmer]

Hi Paul

> We could try to “fix the glitch” (like the two Bobs) and stay on the QTH system.  I have been considering options, such as migrating to “Groups.IO” for a more up-to-date email reflector, but this comes at a cost of time & money.  I don’t mind investing the time and money, but there is another option that should be weighed  before such an investment is made.

> As we can see, traffic on the reflector has slowed each year to a crawl.  Membership has been in decline for years, often from silent keys.  Several times a month I receive an email from the family of a Silent Key with “the notification.”  Receiver technology has certainly changed, and the market for the classic receivers has markedly declined.  This begs the question of whether the Premium-RX reflector has reached that point in time where it has fulfilled its original purpose to the point where it should be discontinued.

I am all for keeping it up and alive.  Been a member for ages, but only rarely posted.  The list, however, is the only place I know where people with receivers can be reached (I myself own a R&S EK-070).

The list is low traffic, certainly not a source of much spam.

So count my vote for keeping and a big thanks to you for maintaining it for all these years.

Best regards and vy 73,
