> Several things to bring to your attention before I tell you about the
> latest QSL/QTH radio give away.
>
> 1.>  The guestbook scripts on QSL.NET web pages have been disabled until I
> figure out how to stop the spammers who are using them.
>
> 2.>  All users who do not have a valid e-mail address on file here will be
> deleted. At the moment there are about 500 users that are bouncing mail.
> The web sites and all references to your past e-mails will be removed.
>
> 3.>  The FTP and WWW servers have been upgraded and hopefully all the
> things the upgrade broke have been fixed.
>
> 4.>  The MAIL server has been upgraded and new anti-spam and anti-virus
> filters have been installed. The amount of spam kills on this system is
> unbelievable, but hopefully your mailbox will be a bit cleaner now.
>
> 5.>  My e-mail backlog is currently about 1 month. If you need something
> right away Please call me at 302-875-1358. It just takes a few seconds to
> generate an account or change a password or e-mail address but if the
> request is in an e-mail it sometimes gets lost in the noise.
>
> 6.> There has been some fraudulent use of QSL.NET web sites and for that
> reason the automatic sign up system is off-line. Until I can determine a
> way to verify all users as legitimate, I suggest you call me if you need a
> web site.
>
> QSL and QTH.net sites need your financial support!

> evangelist but without hearing from you we will be gone someday soon.
>
> That's the bad news.... Now for some exciting news.
>
> Through the generosity of a long time supporter of QSL/QTH we will be
> giving away another radio to a user who contributes between now and
