[RVRC] Donation/tip request for the RVRC mailing list

[E Drew Moore]

RVRC Members,

For some time now the RVRC mailing list has been working flawlessly for us
as a vehicle to share emails between our members. When I set up the service
I made the donation to get us started. This is basically a free service, but
as with everything else it does take donations to maintain the servers and
make improvements. If you want to make a donation of any amount it would be
appreciated. The information is shown below,

Dear QSL.net users,

We hope you are enjoying the services we provide, such as free Web Hosting,
Email Forwarding, Mailing Lists and DX Log Search.

In January 2009, K3TKJ retired from offering these services, and turned
offer these systems to KA9FOX and K5TR.  Since then, a number of
improvements have been made:

1)  All services migrated to fast, new servers.

2)  Servers now located in a state-of-the-art Data Center, with multiple
high-bandwidth Internet connections.

3)  A powerful Self-help System was created, to allow our users to:
 ** Request Password Reset.
 ** Change Password to something easier to remember.
 ** Change E-Mail Forwarding address.
 ** Enable or Disable Web Hosting Account.
 ** Enable or Disable E-Mail Forwarding Service.
 ** Donation tracking (beta) -- will allow you to see your donations.
 To use the Self-Help System, go to http://www.qsl.net and click "Login"

4)  A Support Ticket System was created, to allow users to open a ticket for
assistance with any of our services.  A BIG thank you to Michael AA9ZT and
Tom KC9ECI for their help with answering support tickets! To submit a ticket
for assistance, go to http://www.qsl.net and click "Contact Us".

We have received many positive comments on how fast web pages are being
served and how reliable our services have been.  The new Self-Help system is
also making it possible for users to manage their services with ease, and
has been very well received.  Thank you for your positive feedback!

For over 14 years, QSL.net has been dedicated to the sole purpose of
furthering the abilities and interests of the Amateur Radio Community, with
free Internet services for hams.  QSL.net now needs to ask you for something
in return.  Your financial support.

In addition to the data center bandwidth & hardware costs, we have hundreds
of hours of time involved in answering support tickets (over 6,000 tickets
since Jan 2009), programming and maintaining the Self-Help and Ticket
systems, as well as the day-to-day administrative tasks of keeping all
systems GO.

QSL.net exists solely on your donations!

Would you be willing to put something in our "Tip Jar" to say "Thank you"
and to show your support?

If so, see our Donation page at http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Donations can
be sent via PayPal, Credit Card, Check or Money Order, and would be GREATLY
APPRECIATED.

Thank you for your support and 73!
