W2AGN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the qrplist gang

I knew you all would be rushing to get in on this! This from the guy who doesn't
want any auction on his sites. I wonder, is this even legal?

QSL/QTH Users
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!
Less than 1% of our users have ever contributed, with many who have
contributed over and over to keep us going. Now is a time we need all of
you to pitch in a little and help us stay alive and functional for years to
come. Anything you can contribute will help. I hate to sound like a TV
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 January
15, 2006. Not just any old radio this time but a new shiny Icom 756pro3.
Yes you read that right a 756pro3, Icoms newest addition to the incredible
Pro series. List price on this radio is $3000. I have a 756pro2 and I can
honestly say that in my 44 years as a ham this is the best radio I have
ever owned. The 756pro3 is even better.
