Paul I totally agree. With the
ready availability of electronic storage available today there is no reason for
dropping this very important phase of history into the bit bucket. I thoroughly
enjoy going back and reading QST in the early days, on occasion. I would like
to see Eric do just that. Over the past 5 months, many redirected pictures,
audio files, Teamspeak files, .pdf's etc have been linked in which would be
nice to download into the compendium and locally linked. I don't know how
difficult it would be to do, but it would be a shame to lose it. Teamspeak is a VoIP
conferencing system I began hosting about last October. The client is free and
available in Linux, and Windows versions. In essence it is like a worldwide 2
meter repeater for SDR owners. We are a bit blaze about it now but it has been
witness to, and caused some very important 'firsts' in the recent history of
the SDR. I will have a write up, and handouts for Here is last night's (last
Saturday now) Audio Recording, and in the signature of the message find info on
how to get started. http://www.flex-radio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7591#7591 On another note for
consideration here now that we have it kicked off (thanks Bob) I sponsor the HTTP://Flex-Radio-Friends.net website
as a complimentary web host for anyone interested in The SDR. I got it up and running,
but my skill set and interest is not in webmastering. Fortunately Ken - N9VV is
still hosting excellent SDR related content in a re-direct off the frame on my
site. My main need for the site was its unlimited storage to store user
contributed files as well as the large audio i/q and teamspeak files. This
otherwise valuable resource is being wasted. I would DEARLY love someone
to volunteer to Webmaster this site and build it into something which is truly
another fine SDR-1000 (or other SDR) resource. I will gladly hand over the keys
and let someone else drive. I am using Frontpage to administer the site for the
moment, however, it is Linux based, with any number of extensions and
utilities. Anyone interested please contact me. You would surely be appreciated,
and be making a major contribution. (BTW: It does suppor SQL and the old forum
topics could probably be ported into a searchable database!) Thanks Eric - AA4SW Why 'age them' off - will
you ave to pay to keep them availale or .... even better ... how about 'package them up, say in just as a few
large text files and zip them and lets us download the zips individually.
Perhaps by month/quarter/year? We could even burn a local CD copy for save
storage etc. |
