Thank you, Joel, Jay, and Dick, for asking the questions and making the comments I like to think I would have submitted had I replied before reading this thread. I was away from home for most of today, and am just now (12:22 AM Friday) reading my mail. I am, although you may find it hard to believe, at a loss for words.

Hi,

1. We have added a link to www.QTH.com <http://www.qth.com/> at the URL where the Radios On-Line was previously located on our Web site. In exchange for linking to them, we have made an informal business arrangement to receive some banner ads on their site. This is a non-exclusive arrangement. We are willing to work out a similar arrangement with any other on-line amateur radio sales site. Here's what is on our page now : http://www.arrl.org/classifieds/

1. Yaesu has become the "Principal Sponsor of Logbook of the World." This essentially means that they get a banner ad at the top of the LOTW Web pages and some bragging rights. The term of the agreement is for one year. I did want everyone to know that Yaesu will be posting in a banner with "Yaesu -Principal Sponsor of Logbook of the World" in their booth at Dayton. They would like to keep this information confidential until Dayton. This is the first time that we have been able to seriously pursue advertising for the LOTW site. The turning point was when we exceeded 20,000 registered Logbook users.

Thanks to Deb Jahnke for working out these arrangements.

73,

Harold
