RE: [arrl-od:2055] May QST mailing

Greg, I initially received one copy of QST via bulk mail and another via First Class mail. I requested to have the bulk-mail copy deleted. It was. Now I receive two copies by First Class mail. I've not brought this up again because I figured getting things changed from normal was too confusing. Oh, I received both mailings in the same delivery a week ago.

Another piece of trivia following this thread. My first class QST arrived yesterday (April 19). It was postmarked on April 8 from Glasgow, KY.

Greg: Your lucky, the pony bringing my first class May QST is still crossing the plain states. I will let you know when the rider enters the city limits.

[arrl-odv:12113] FW: ARRL Web server change
by Kramer, Harold, WJ1B 18 Apr '05

FYI, Harold -----Original Message----- From: Bloom, Jon, KE3Z Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 11:01 AM To: HQ Staff Subject: ARRL Web server change We're about to switch our main ARRL Web server to a new system. I have tentatively scheduled this change for 10 AM this Wednesday, 4/20. This will result in the Web site being unavailable to anyone for a period of 2-4 hours. The P1K server will still be available during this time, allowing advertising uploads and LoTW access (although obviously nobody will be able to access the links to these from the main Web site.) If this schedule causes a particular hardship for anyone, please let me know now! We're going to publicize the scheduled outage in advance, so I need to finalize the schedule this morning. Jon

Ah yes....antidisestablishmentarianism. My younger brother and I had a debate longer than that word, about that word, many many years ago when we were both still in high school. He could actually spell it, and I could actually sit back and say "Who Cares?"......actually I think I made a different statement something to the point of "Who gives a .....". In any event he and Kim (they graduated together) had a social studies teacher that had some fascination with the word and therefore imposed a massive instruction on the topic with his students. 73 Joel W5ZN -----Original Message----- From: Kay Craigie [mailto:n3kn@comcast.net] Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 3:46 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:12111] Re: Writing a complaint letter I think by means of this complaint-generator web site Tom has just won the award for the longest word (antidisestablishmentarianism) ever used in an ODV message since the reflector was created.
