[TNham] QSL.net / QTH.net Mailing List Support Needed

[k4hsm at lock-net.com]

Dear mailman.qth.net mailing list administrator:

We hope your mailing list is working well (and, if not, certainly let us
know by using the "Contact Us" form at http://www.qsl.net)

Since taking over the mailing list, web hosting and email forwarding
services from K3TKJ back in January 2009, we have not yet made any effort to
request donations.  The time has come where we need to do make such a
request.  We've set up a web page that describes what improvements we've
made in the last 1.5 years, and why it is important to support our efforts.
 See http://www.qsl.net/news.html

As you may know, the suggested annual donation for list owners is $25 per
mailing list.  Alternatively, your list members can make individual
contributions.

If you have not made a donation this year and/or last year, making a
donation now would be greatly appreciated. See
http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

If you prefer to have your list members make individual contributions, we
would ask that you send out an email to your list members, asking them to
support QSL.net.

   A) You can create your own personal email, and provide the informational
link to http://www.qsl.net/news.html and/or the donation link of
http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

   B) Or you can use the text below for your email... just copy and paste
the text below and send it out to your list address.  Please do not forward
this entire message.  The message above is only intended for you, the list
Administrator.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reply to this message.

Thank you for your support, and 73 !

MESSAGE THAT CAN BE SENT TO YOUR LIST MEMBERS:
=============================================

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!
