HAM HAPPENINGS: HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY TO
REC.RADIO.AMATEUR.MODERATED
And a big happy birthday shout-out to the
rec.radio.amateur.moderated Usenet newsgroup
which will be five years old this month.
The group was founded on February 22, 2007. It
was created as a moderated alternative to the
chaotic problems on many of the un-moderated
newsgroups of the time. Since then it has become
a model that other hobby radio Newsgroups are
attempting to emulate.
If you haven't participated on Usenet in a while
you might want to take a look at
rec.radio.amateur.moderated. Its quite a bit
more mature than other hobby groups in the Usenet
genre.
As an aside, Amateur Radio Newsline has been
distributed on rec.radio.amateur.moderated almost
since that Newsgroup was formed and we hope that
we helped in some way in the group's long term
success. (ARNewslineT)
