Very wise decision!  I have two small children myself and find that working on spelling, math
and letting them read to me, is far more rewarding than any radio I've listened too in the past
25 years!

Best of luck to you Andrew!

  Mark & all:

  Closing IndyScan was a personal decision made by me & me alone.  As I've
  stated on the page, I'm no longer active in the hobby.  I have been slowly
  losing interest for a while.  The updates & newsletters were something I
  didn't look forward to doing each month so I made a decision to close.

  I felt I should do something with the data.  I could have done the
  following:

  1) Stop updating the site & let it go stale.
  2) Delete the site all together.
  3) Donate all the info we had to someone who would help it live on.

  I liked what I saw on www.radioreference.com & I feel Steve is doing a great
  job with all the info he has to manage.  I made the decision to contact
  Steve & he graciously accepted to take the data.  He's been actively adding
  the data to the site since I sent it to him (I peeked a few times (ha)).

  I thought about posting something on ScanIndiana, but didn't want to steer
  the recent discussions off track with 100 emails asking me not to close
  IndyScan.  Instead, I sent a message to all the newsletter subscribers
  letting them know the situation (this also gave them time to get any info
  from they site the needed/wanted).  I have since deleted the mailing list as
  I promised I would do.

  I started IndyScan when I had an easy 9-5 job, no kids & a lovely wife.  I
  now have a time-consuming job that I love, 2 kids & the same lovely wife.
  It's been an 8-year adventure that I simply outgrew.

  I knew this decision would disappoint some.  I appreciate all the positive
  feedback received from the friends I've made along the way.  It was an honor
  to be able to provide the service we did.

  I was picking up some DX from the really good band opening
  last night. So I went to www.indyscan.com  to check some
  references and found it closed. The page says it has given all of the
  Indyscan info to www.radioreference.com.
