[R-390] From R-390 Mail List Server Administrator - Stay at QTH.net or Move to Groups.io ???

[k1jos at att.net]

Hello R-390 Groupmates,

 

Several years ago, Don W5OR (SK) asked me to share administrator
responsibilities with him to manage the R390 mail list server
(http://mailman.qthnet/mailman/listinfo/r-390).

 

This mailing list is an essential complement to the www.R-390a.net
<http://www.R-390a.net>  website that Larry took responsibility since Al
WA0HQQ (SK) passed.   While the R-390 mail list has over 20 years of
archived messages, the archives are not user-friendly searchable. 

 

I would like to hear feedback from you whether the list should move to a
more feature-packed mailing list such as Groups.io?  Groups.io allows
fille/picture attachments and keyword logic searches on archived messages.
The annual cost would be about $350 which I am willing to take on while
hoping that some of you will contribute a few $/year to help defray the
cost.  

 

Regardless of whether we stay with the current list server or move in 2023,
I am working on compiling a single email archive file, structured by thread
titles for 2002-2022, that can be easily searched by keyword logic.  I
believe I can then broadcast it to all subscribers to download for their
home use.

 

Looking forward to hearing your opinions, 

 

Best regards,

 

Jerry NY2KW (ex-K1JOS)
