RE: [AMRadio] Re: New AM Swap list
No one was erroneously put on the swap list. All that was done was to split up the Am radio list into AM radio and AM swap list. All the subscribers were also set up on the AM swap list by the kindness of the list administrator. It is no different than when the list was moved to another server and all the members were moved by the administrator. But since some people apparently bitched about being signed up on a list without them doing it themselves (probably before they read what was going on) the administrator removed all from the new list and advised everyone to sign up themselves. So much for him trying to be helpful. 73 Gary K4FMX > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:amradio- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2008 10:36 PM > To: amradio@mailman.qth.net > Subject: [AMRadio] Re: New AM Swap list > > > > What did I do wrong? > > First, I received a welcome message telling me how to unsubscribe. > > Then a received a "Dear John" with no information other than you're out! > > > > I and many others received the same "stuff" in their inboxes > recentlyleaving me to wonder when I had subscribed to another email > list..then it > occured to me, someone without asking first, dumped my email address among > others > into a new list. > > You knowit would have been great to have been told about such a new > list > -BEFORE- someone subscribed me to it.

[AMRadio] Re: New AM Swap list
What did I do wrong? First, I received a welcome message telling me how to unsubscribe. Then a received a "Dear John" with no information other than you're out! I and many others received the same "stuff" in their inboxes recentlyleaving me to wonder when I had subscribed to another email list..then it occured to me, someone without asking first, dumped my email address among others into a new list. You knowit would have been great to have been told about such a new list -BEFORE- someone subscribed me to it. My email address is not a free for all for anyone to use as they see fit. Domain names get black listed when acts like the above mentioned occurs. Next time whomever creates a list...create it, test it with your own email addresses then put the word out. Auto subscribing some email addresses that are not yours to list without prior consent is just plain wrong.

Re: [AMRadio] Ice Storm
Hadn't thought of that ! Makes sense for a mostly resistive type load.

[AMRadio] OT: Why do some people capitalise "ham"? Let's try English 101
Gents, S'amazing how an innocuous question can engender myriad responses, so let's try this one. Read QST? Notice how once hyphenated terms have become de-hyphenated, which totally changes their meaning? S'not just QST, is media in general. Very disturbing, looks like American English is being Europeanized. (apologies to our friends across the big pond) Bad move! Won't be able to call them 10-watt resistors, grounded-grids, multi-tap transformers, crystal-controlled oscillators no more, no-how. Real examples from QST, Feb 2008: circularly polarized antenna; direct conversion receiver; dual band and dual-band in the same sentence; [g...] high end performance; 32 bit; floating point; dsp based; qrm proof; noise blanker; self contained; built in; auto tuning; QRM proof is whatcha get when you wave that el-cheapo SW receiver around and hear the hash. Auto tuning is something my mechanic does. QST's staff never hear or have forgotten about compound adjectives? Or were they out of class the day they were taught? And no more 5-speed manual-transmissions, neither. The only manual transmission stuff I do is downloading stuff from BAMA. Bye-bye snow-cones, astro-turf, second-hand goodies, low-level distortion (well, that would not be a bad thing), and Daisy-Dukes. Ouch! Like the man said, the times, they are a-changin'. Er, a changin'. Me, I LIKE hyphens. I LIKE talking about multi-directional, circularly-polarized, lightning-resistant antennas, ultra-selective filters, temperature-compensated oscillators, variable-width IFs... It's a sad, sad place we've come to, gents. I hope it doesn't get worse, they'll start taking out the apostrophes next... 73, Terry Bakowski KC9KEL, Skokie, IL, soon escaping back to Chicago-by-the-Sea** It's Tax Time!
