space. Homebrewing isn't about making your own alcoholic beverages at home
(that's rec.crafts.brewing), but rather construction of radio and electronic
equipment by the amateur experimenter. The .dx group is devoted to long
distance amateur communications. Each of these subgroups has its own
charter and FAQ; please refer to the archives to find these documents.
Except for rec.radio.swap and rec.radio.cb, all of these newsgroups are
available by Internet electronic mail in digest format; send a mail message
containing "help" on a line by itself to listserv@ucsd.edu for instructions
on how to use the mail server.
All of the groups can be posted to by electronic mail, though, by using a
gateway at the University of Texas at Austin. To post a message this way,
change the name of the group you wish to post to by replacing all of the '.'s
with '-'s - for example, rec.radio.swap becomes rec-radio-swap - and send to
that name@cs.utexas.edu (rec-radio-swap@cs.utexas.edu, for example). You may
crosspost by including multiple addresses as Cc: entries (but see below). This
gateway's continued availability is at the pleasure of the admins at
UT-Austin, and is subject to going away at any time - and especially if
forgeries and other net.abuses become a problem. You have been warned.
Mailing Lists
=============
In addition to the mailing lists that mirror the Usenet newsgroups, there
also are a few that stand alone. These cover specific areas of ham radio,
and discussion is focused on just those areas. PLEASE BE SURE TO SAVE THE
WELCOME MESSAGE YOU RECEIVE AFTER SUBSCRIBING -- IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFO REGARDING UNSUBSCRIBING!
The cq-contest mailing list is for discussions of contesting in ham radio.
To join, send an email to cq-contesting-request@contesting.com.
The DX mailing list covers the finer points of DXing. This one is also
joined by mailing "subscribe" on a line by itself, this time to
dx-request@unbc.edu.
There's also a VHF mailing list, for VHF operators of the weak signal
persuasion. You can join this one be sending "subscribe vhf" on a line by
itself to vhf-request@w6yx.stanford.edu.
The QRP-L list is devoted to building and operating gear at low-power
outputs. To subscribe, send an email to listproc@lehigh.edu and only
write: subscribe qrp-l Your Name.
The TopBand e-list is devoted to all areas of operation on 160m. To
subscribe, send an email to majordomo@contesting.com and only write:
subscribe topband and follow the instructions you'll be sent.
This site, contesting.com, also hosts a couple dozen other ham-related
e-lists. Use the above address, and only write: lists to get the entire
index.
The Boatanchors e-list is devoted to the older tube-based ham, military,
and commercial communications gear. To subscribe, send an email to:
listserv@listserv.tempe.gov and only write: subscribe boatanchors
For homebuilding transmitters and receivers using tube technology,
there is the Glowbugs e-list; send an email to:
majordomo@piobaire.mines.uidaho.edu and only write:
subscribe glowbugs <your@address.here>
The VHF DX discussion list can be accessed by sending an email
to: majordomo@blacksheep.org and only writing: subscribe VHF-DX-discuss.
We now have a list devoted to amateur radio history. To subscribe,
send an email to: ham-radio-history-subscribe@egroups.com - leave
the body of the message blank.
Qth.net hosts over 100 ham-related e-lists, including lists devoted
to each state, manufacturer, mode, band - too many to state here. Send
an email to majordomo@qth.net and only write: lists to get the
complete index.
For one of the most complete indexes of email lists, see the excellent
web site http://pw2.netcom.com/~ac6v/pageae.html
Please do NOT send subscription requests to the mailing lists themselves;
that doesn't work very often, and is very annoying to those on the list.
Also, please keep your electronic mail address current with any mailing
lists you subscribe to, as dealing with returned email is a nuisance for the
person maintaining the mailing list.
A Few Words on Crossposting
===========================
Please do not crosspost messages to two or more groups unless there is genuine
interest in both groups in the topic being discussed, and when you do, please
include a header line of the form "Followup-To: group.name" in your article's
headers (before the first blank line). This will cause followups to your
article to go to the group listed in the Followup-To: line. If you wish
to have replies to go to you by email, rather than be posted, use the word
"poster" instead of the name of a group. Such a line appears in the headers
of this article.
One of the few examples of productive cross-posting is with the rec.radio.info
newsgroup. To provide a filtered presentation of information articles, while
still maintaining visibility in their home newsgroups, the moderator strongly
encourages cross-posting. All information articles should be submitted to the
rec.radio.info moderator so that he may simultaneously cross-post your
information to the appropriate newsgroups. Most newsreaders will only present
the article once, and network bandwidth is conserved since only one article is
propagated. If you make regular informational postings, and have made
arrangements with the moderator to post directly to the group, please
cross-post as appropriate.

Subject: Kenwood Control program that runs on Liunx AND Windows!!!!!
I like the idea of open source so HAMS can make changes to the code for
their own particular rigs.
Jeff, are you making the source code available to allow anyone to modify for
YAESU, etc rigs?
