Below is an email from SFDXA President Jeff WB3ISP reiterating a decision about communicating with the SFDXA members made in the past.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be abundantly clear about the next steps for the mailing lists.

[email protected] will be the ONLY Official SFDXA mailing list.

It will be the ONLY source of emails for members and non-members.

Permissions for the group have been set to Public so it can be found in the directory.

New ([email protected]) members require approval before joining. (You apply and one of us will approve you)
New ([email protected]) members are automatically moderated for their 2 first posts. After 2 approved posts then they're free to post with no moderation

All other mailing lists can stay there for historical purposes. I'd even argue that we could unsubscribe all members from it.

We can create a separate mailing list for [email protected] that houses only active members. This will allow us to communicate membership information to them without including non-members.

I hope this clarifies things going forward.

Note that this decision was made at a meeting years ago when Randy was president when we migrated the website from QTH.com

Have a great week everyone and I'm very grateful for all the work everyone is putting in.

----------------------------------- From WB4EHG -----------------------------------------------

Aside: I started the [email protected] before knowing that Norm had started [email protected] and no one was using it.

We stayed with his version because it has more features that sfdxahams@ would have to pay to use.

As Secretary it is my responsibility to communicate information to the members.
I will only do that on [email protected]

Please join us on [email protected]
