Hi everybody
You may be interested in how uBITx.net is going.
To date in February 2018, there have been 170,000 page hits, with 14220 visits by 8214 unique visitors.? Together, all those 8000+ uBITx fans have shifted 14Gb of data! This shows just how big the interest is in the uBITx.? I host around 25 sites, and this is now our second most popular site.
I am still catching up with reading new emails on the list posted during the last few days.? I have been otherwise occupied with a visit by Eugeny UA3AHM and time out at the saltmine.
Since the site launch less than a month ago,? a total of 68 news stories have been posted.? There will be a few more posted today. These stories are running about 3 per day, drawn primarily from the approx. 100 email postings a day on the BITX20 email list (i.e. 3% of all emails to the list are "news worthy").? This is a pretty interesting statistic in itself.
I am still gob-smacked by the extent of hacking already going on with the uBITx ...? eclipsing a year's worth of hacking on the BITX40. There are already three software variants available - each with unique features.?? Clearly, Ashhar Farhan has a tiger by the tail, as he has two months of back orders of the uBITx to clear before shipping ex stock.
Hopefully, ubitx.net is filling a helpful niche in the ecosystem for the uBITx.? It's purpose is to document and categorise that which is of enduring value from the BITX20 list about the uBITx. I have not had the time I would like to distill out the "nuggets" into guidance like I had hoped.?? However, I guess that will come with time ... It would also be nice to find the time to work on hacking my own uBITx! ? But I do hope to get into the workshop this weekend and work on an interesting mod of one of my BITX40s.
Don't forget that you can volunteer to help out with uBITx.net. It would be great to have one or two others assisting with the daily collation of news items.? This takes an hour or two a day at most...? I can prepare a simple guide? to assist volunteers in managing this.? No coding skills are needed ... just good editing skills, and the ability to track down an appropriate graphic to go with each item.

Thanks for your undertaking of what appears to be a large and growing project. I just came back from the uBITX.net website and noted that? Internal Server Erroris what I get when I try the various links. ?

Wonderful work OM Mike. We all appreciate your efforts in real ham spirit. If I find anything interesting I will point it out for you.
Thank you for your great work on consolidating knowledge from various sources into one place.

Check to see that your messages are not being directed to spam. One time I clicked the wrong "Move-to" link and set it to Spam. After that, I was removed from subsequent mailings. Look for a message from Group.io explaining what happened and follow their link to reestablish your link.

The problem is that I can not connect to through

Just for giggles, change your network card's DNS to 8.8.8.8 (that's Google's public DNS) and try it. Comcast may not have had their DNS refreshed or their DNS might have rejected it for some odd reason. ?

The problem turns out to be with my Comcast modem, apparently.?
The problem is that I can not connect to through
Comcast - not an email problem.? The email is working fine.? If I
connect my PC to my Verizon phone, the connection works fine.?
Every other site I normally connect to works fine - just the
fails through the Comcast modem.? We're now on our
second day of troubleshooting with Comcast.

I’m on

?Perhaps the problem is localized.

Hopefully, it will be fixed soon!

Hi everybody
You may be interested in how uBITx.net is
going.
To date in February 2018, there have been
170,000 page hits, with 14220
visits by 8214 unique visitors.?
Together, all those 8000+ uBITx fans
have shifted 14Gb of data! This shows
just how big the interest is in
the uBITx.? I host around 25 sites, and
this is now our second most
popular site.
I am still catching up with reading new
emails on the list posted during
the last few days.? I have been otherwise
occupied with a visit by
Eugeny UA3AHM and time out at the
saltmine.
Since the site launch less than a month
ago,? a total of 68 news stories
have been posted.? There will be a few
more posted today. These stories
are running about 3 per day, drawn
primarily from the approx. 100 email
postings a day on the BITX20 email list
(i.e. 3% of all emails to the
list are "news worthy").? This is a
pretty interesting statistic in itself.
I am still gob-smacked by the extent of
hacking already going on with
the uBITx ...? eclipsing a year's worth
of hacking on the BITX40. There
are already three software variants
available - each with unique
features.?? Clearly, Ashhar Farhan has a
tiger by the tail, as he has
two months of back orders of the uBITx to
clear before shipping ex stock.
Hopefully, is filling a helpful
niche in the ecosystem for the
uBITx.? It's purpose is to document and
categorise that which is of
enduring value from the BITX20 list about
the uBITx. I have not had the
time I would like to distill out the
"nuggets" into guidance like I had
hoped.?? However, I guess that will come
with time ... It would also be
nice to find the time to work on hacking
my own uBITx! ? But I do hope
to get into the workshop this weekend and
work on an interesting mod of
one of my BITX40s.
Don't forget that you can volunteer to
help out with uBITx.net. It would
be great to have one or two others
assisting with the daily collation of
news items.? This takes an hour or two a
day at most...? I can prepare a
simple guide? to assist volunteers in
managing this.? No coding skills
are needed ... just good editing skills,
and the ability to track down
an appropriate graphic to go with each
item.
