Refreshing The Look Of The W1NRG Forum

[W1DMM]

Being a new member, I heard many referring to "the reflector" as being the place to conduct communications. I was unable to determine what this is. Come to find out it is an e-mail system that has no ties with the W1NRG website, nor apparently to this forum. It seems to be out in left field waiting for a new member to learn about it elsewhere.

Since no one seemed to answer your question John, I'll try. This forum is meant to have a specific grouping of topics and mostly has retention. Ex If you are looking for something posted a year ago, you can find it. On the down side, you must sign in and search.

The reflector is meant for a 24-48 hour period with no retention. It serves those quickie notes usually associated with an ongoing project such as a contest this weekend. The advantage is that it pops up with your e-mails. The down side is no retention and may be intermingled if there is a lot of activity.
