[Premium-Rx] Reflector Tech Problem

[Raaj Shinde]

Hi Paul,

I think this reflector is a tremendous resource, with members who not only
have a vast amount of knowledge but are very willing to share it.  Just
yesterday, I had a chance to meet with another receiver enthusiast here
locally, that I met through this reflector!

I am definitely in favor of keeping it alive and going. I think a migration
to Groups.io would be a great move.  I have some bandwidth and exposure to
IT systems, so I'm happy to help.

Thank you and 73, raaj, KI8JI
