I have been maintaining data resources of this kind for a long time (early
90's).
Recently, I've noticed a tendency for folks to allow commercial enterprises
like FB and Twitter replace the more tried and true methods of communication.
In our case, (car clubs) this led to missed opportunities for members that
choose not to support commercial enterprise or subject themselves to the
potential privacy and security concerns that these Social Media networks
expose their 'customers' to.
I love this BB, and I am one of those that has never had a Facebook or
Twitter account. I hope that the folks in the know remember that not
everyone uses Social Media, and post info where the rest of us can get at is
as well.
Best,
- Eli Caul KK6ZHZ

Hi, rest assured it was an oversight from command stations. Sometimes we
get busy with other things (real life) and miss an email. We?ll try to do
better. And by ?we? I mean the whole command team. KO4MA and me ;)
Hopefully users will cooperate on Tuesday night so we can put into L/v at
that time. I?ve been pondering and suggesting a long term swap to
Tuesday/utc Wednesday, like we did for many years as Experimenter?s night.
There are so many grid events and activations on weekends?seems like a good
move to change our schedule so we can have our cake and eat it too!

Mark, thanks for all your time.
Since you mention the command team, perhaps now might be a good chance to
approach other operators that we know have the necessary equipment and ask
if they would be willing to be part that team. Same goes with the people
who manage the social media accounts.
Have a great week!
