[Premium-Rx] Reflector Tech Problem

 I vote yes!
And Art, your R-1414 that donated its oscillator coil lives on.... I rewound an oscillator coil for it, fixed a shorted feedthru capacitor, replaced a bad display tube, and apart from an intermittent 16KC filter it works great.

 I definitely vote to keep it going!  Just a month ago, I got some very valuable help from this group to repair my TenTec RX340, and last year I was able to help two members with parts for their Sylvania R-1414s that probably would have been unobtainable anywhere else.

This is a community of people who could not possibly find each other if it were not for this group.

Subject: [Premium-Rx] Reflector Tech Problem

This morning 208 of our members had their subscriptions deleted by the QTH system.  We’re still looking into that.

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.

Greg Bailey K6QPV and Jan Skirrow VE7DJX founded the Premium-RX reflector about a quarter century ago to fill a need for timely information exchanges regarding our beloved receivers.  Greg & Jan passed the reflector and the website on to me almost 18 years ago, and I have carried on since then.

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’ll let the members decide.  Please email me privately  ( 73 at 73.am ) or make a post to the reflector!

Thank you & vy 73 de Paul  W8ZO
