MONTHLY REMINDER--Our Amateur Radio Groups
#monthly-notice
MONTHLY REMINDER--Our Amateur Radio Groups Below are our amateur radio related groups. Some may be new enough there are only a few members. If one of those interests you, join it and give it some time to grow. It costs nothing and if there’s few members, it won’t be filling up your inbox while you wait for it to grow. ?

We're going to combine Collins groups, then close this one and re-purpose it
To avoid duplication of effort and pool our resources together, we're going to close this group and ask everyone from here to move to the other group. Directions on how to do that are below. I don't know if the moderator of the other group knows how to do a mass invitation or not, but you can join without an invitation following the information below. The other group has file and picture storage, since it is a legacy basic group created before they started removing features of basic groups. It also has a much broader membership base, with 168 members currently. Like this one, it's rather quiet, but will no doubt come to life when someone needs help. How this move will work is I'll close this group to new members. At some point in time I'll re-purpose this group for another ham radio theme, so you may want to remain members here to wait and see what happens, and then decide whether to stay or not in the new group. To join, read the information Jim sent carefully, especially the part at the bottom in bold/italic text. They need to know your call sign or why you want to join, probably to keep CB'ers from joining and modifying (destroying) a good piece of Collins equipment to use it on the CB bands illegally at high power (high power compared to the 4 or 5 watts a legal CB radio will have). Donald KX8K ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's how you join the other group (quoting Jim from the other group). To join, your members can send a blank email message to: [email protected] If they go to: /g/CollinsRadios and select "Join" that would work too. Either way, they need to email us (owner at [email protected] ) and tell us their amateur call sign. If no call then why they want to join (own a particular piece of Collins gear, etc). Or tell us they are coming from your list.

Selling in the group
Selling is allowed in this group for ham radio equipment only, and at least one of the items for sale must be related to the purpose of the group. We require that anything being sold here have a price with it. So "make offer" or anything like that will not be an acceptable post here. Please indicate if shipping is included, otherwise leave it out. Also, please indicate the general location of the equipment for sale, so others will know if it’s within driving distance for them, and if you're willing to meet someone X miles away from that location. If you have any information about the item, please add it, as it will make it more likely that it will sell. Just list similar to the following. This was a suggestion for the SWAN-AMATEUR-RADIO group. Just replace the Swan item with one that would fit the purpose of this group: Swan 350D, great cosmetic condition, may need new final tubes since output drops somewhat on 15 and 10 meters. Model 117XC AC power supply included. Asking $325.00 OBO. Located near Charlotte, NC. Will drive up to 25 miles from Charlotte for pickup or delivery. Call 444-444-4444, or email hamoperator@....

need a moderator or two
We're looking for another moderator or two. Any volunteers? There is no prerequisite knowledge needed of knowing how to operate a group here. With no additional moderators and my age/health, this group will cease to function properly if I get seriously sick or die. We can use a volunteer or two. There are only two of us now, and if the group becomes more active over time, this could be a concern for all of you.

New ham groups added, new groups.io pricing structure on Jan 18, 2021 (long post, intentionally cross-posted)
First, the new pricing structure for NEWLY formed groups on groups.io beginning January 18, 2021. Basic (free) groups formed on or after that date stay free *up to 100 members*. After that, it will need to be upgraded to a premium group. Premium groups ($220/year) are good up to 400 members, after which a per-member fee ($.05 per month or $0.55 per year) is added to the $220 per year premium group fee. That will bring a burden on some new groups, so I created some more ham groups that may grow, or flounder, but I wanted to beat the deadline so those groups will not be charged extra fees, or any fees, for that matter. If they take off and are useful, that will be great. If they flounder, I might just delete the group if members agree, or if there are no co-owners by the time I review whether the group is worth keeping. If you were thinking of creating a group for one of your interests, THIS IS THE TIME TO DO SO before the new pricing structure goes into effect. If you need help with that, email me *privately* and if I'm not overwhelmed with requests, I will try to help. You must be willing to assume group ownership as I will leave the group after creating it and you've been made a group owner. If you need help getting started with the group, I can hang around for a short while and direct you to documentation on how to run a group. As for the new groups I created last evening, I will list their web addresses below. Please contact me *privately* ONLY IF you are interested in joining one of these groups AND ARE UNABLE to use the join button on the web site or find the join process confusing. I would like to avoid what happened when Yahoo closed their groups and I offered to help people if they were unable to join themselves. I was overwhelmed with requests to help, and I'm sure not all of those were from people who had difficulty joining, so please give it a try yourself first. Go to the site and press the join button on the group(s) you are interested in. Follow the simple instructions and you will be approved. All new members will be moderated for a short time so don't expect to post immediately. There's only one moderator right now (me), and I work for a living, sleep at night, and take naps because of my health condition in late afternoons sometimes. I donate some of my time for community work, am a minister, and have to wisely use my time. But I don't want anyone to not join one of these groups because they find it difficult to join. YOU CAN JOIN ANY OF THESE GROUPS BY EMAIL by sending a message to the subscribe address. Take the web address name at the end of the URL and change it by adding [email protected] to it. For the FT-757 group (as an example): /g/FT-757GX Send an email to this address: [email protected] no body text is required in the message, just the address, but to make your email program happy, you can put the word subscribe in the subject and message fields. These new lists are email reflectors only with no storage (a change that was made almost a year ago by GIO's owner). If I had created them before February 2020, they would have storage. We will work something out for storage if the groups get large enough and have a need for that. I will need moderators for these new groups, and soon after they get on their feet, a co-owner who has some real interest and hopefully experience with these different brands of radios. Contact me off-list if you are interested in volunteering with any of these groups. I will help you out with anything you need to know about how to manage a group as a moderator or co-owner. I will list the NEW groups first, then list the other amateur radio groups I created. Note that most of these are not model-specific and are "general-purpose" groups for a BRAND of radio or a general-purpose group for a type of equipment. I did not create any group for which there already was a general-purpose discussion group for that brand of radio, like Drake and some others. I am not interested in amassing a lot of groups to manage. My purpose is just to see that interes

New ham groups, also new pricing structure for groups
The next message is about some new groups I created to have a general-purpose discussion group for some brands of amateur radio equipment and radios before groups.io's new pricing structure goes into effect Jan 81, 2021. It is a long message, so I just wanted to give you a heads-up. I cross-posted it to all the groups I manage. I will be looking for moderators for the new groups and even some of the established groups, so if you're interested in helping, please email me privately about this. For the rest, please read my next post. It's a long and detailed one.
