But while that is great, what do you think of the white paper? I thought it was very good and if distributed to the SM's and even put on our web site would be helpful. Jim

Jim, FYI, as of this moment I am aware of 75 (and still counting) GLD members have written their Congressional representatives to support HR713/S537 as a result of my encouragement. I'd love for this to be 7,500, but . . . 73, Jim W. AMATEUR RADIO: The only fail-safe communications system in the world. ARRL: The reason Amateur Radio is!

With the hobby slowly dying as a result of a lack of new hams, the industry is fading away…and without sufficient advertising the magazine couldn't continue. It was an interesting 43 years. I'll write about it some time. I'll be continuing my essays on my web site for those subscribers who mainly bought the magazine for them. No definite arrangements have been made yet about subscriptions. I do plan to scan in articles of lasting interest on a Web site so they'll be available. Wayne

Hi Barry, Good show! Glad to see it resolved!! 73, Henry - WD4Q ----- Original Message ----- From: Shelley, Barry, N1VXY To: arrl-odv Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 9:42 AM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:9567] Earthlink Resolved The following item is going up on the web page today noting that the issues with Earthlink have been resolved. What we were able to get Earthlink to do, only because of the good work of a Radio Amateur who works in the CEO's office, was to raise their internal standards relative to arrl.net so it wouldn't trigger their automated delaying/blocking. I've been told that they were raised high enough so it shouldn't be a problem anymore. Given their earlier statements that more than 50% of all mail from arrl.net to Earthlink was spam, they must have raised it up pretty high. So, mail is flowing again to Earthlink's servers from arrl.net. Both we and Earthlink will be sending out a note to our respective member/customers probably on Monday. We're going to try and coordinate it so we're not pointing fingers anymore. Which is probably a good thing. 73, Barry, N1VXY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EarthLink resolves issues with ARRL E-Mail Forwarding Service: E-mail once again is flowing between the ARRL E-Mail Forwarding Service <http://www.arrl.org/members-only/emailfwd.html>(@arrl.net addresses) and servers at EarthLink.net <http://www.earthlink.net>. The situation was resolved as a result of direct conversations over the past several days between ARRL and senior EarthLink officials, who were very willing to work with ARRL to eliminate the impasse. "Once we were able to contact the appropriate parties at EarthLink, they were very understanding and sympathetic to the situation." said ARRL Chief Financial Officer Barry Shelley, N1VXY. "We are gratified that EarthLink listened to our concerns and worked with us to effect a solution."

Aww, gee, golly-shucks Chris, as a step to make W.Va. amateurs (who use "my" 8th District Incoming QSL Bureau) comfortable with me, I've adopted Jim Jim as my name. I'm glad you noticed. Actually, though, it is those dagnabbed people with EarthLink out in California who decided this was my name! I'm also pleased you enjoyed my asserbic wit.
