[arrl-odv:21939] The Power of QST
There's a brief item on the ARRL website news crawl that refers to the lead item in the September QST Product Review column: http://www.arrl.org/news/em-funkamateur-em-fifi-sdr-ordering-function-of fline <http://www.arrl.org/news/em-funkamateur-em-fifi-sdr-ordering-function-o ffline> Here's the rest of the story. It seems that when September QST reached our members, Funkamateur in Germany experienced such a large and sudden spike in FiFi orders from the United States that their local Internet provider, along with AT&T, assumed that a Denial of Service attack was taking place and closed the invoice transfer link. Now they have to convince the provider that the activity is legitimate.... 73, Dave K1ZZ
That's awesome. What I refer to as a great problem to deal with. 73, Brian N5ZGT On Aug 15, 2013, at 12:56 PM, "Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ" <dsumner@arrl.org> wrote:
