- Subject: Ham Radio FTP area on World
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- This is a periodic reminder that the Boston Amateur Radio Club maintains an
- FTP area on world.std.com (192.74.137.5) in pub/hamradio.
-
- This area is accessible via: anonymous ftp, gopher, and World Wide Web
- (and possibly other methods I'm not yet aware of). World is not
- *fsp*-able yet (I asked them).
-
- Via Gopher, the easiest path to the area is by selecting the following
- from World's main menu:
-
- 18. Membership and Professional Associations
-
- 3. Boston Amateur Radio Club
-
- And go from there...
-
- Please feel free to browse through the area.
-
- If anyone has any questions about it, please do not hesitate to e-mail me.
-
- Also, up-to-date copies of the files on the ARRL's information server
- (info@arrl.org) are available in the directory pub/hamradio/ARRL/Server-files.
-
- All text files are uncompressed, so they are both retrievable and
- viewable via Gopher and World Wide Web. (If you have any troubles with
- any text file, please e-mail me).
-
- Source code for programs is always welcome. It can permit people to use
- those programs on other computers with other operating systems.

- Last-modified: $Date: 1994/01/02 22:00 $

-
- *** Welcome to rec.radio.info! ***
-
- Welcome to rec.radio.info, a group that aims to provide a noise-free source
- of information and news for the entire rec.radio hierarchy.
-
- Two introductory articles about rec.radio.info are posted to the group and
- to news.answers every two weeks. You are now reading the first article, which
- explains what rec.radio.info is, and answers some Frequently Asked Questions.
- The second article is titled "Submission Guidelines", and you only need to
- read it if you want to submit an article to rec.radio.info.
-
- You can skip to the next section of this article by searching for the next
- " -- " string. The sections available are:
- - What is the purpose of rec.radio.info?
- - Why are messages almost always cross posted to rec.radio.info?
- - What is a 'follow-up', and what does 'moderated' mean?
- - OK, so now I know what 'moderated' means. Tell me more.
- - What type of material is considered inappropriate?
- - I do not have access to news, how can I get the information posted to
- rec.radio.info?
- - Will the material appearing in rec.radio.info be archived somewhere?
- - I have a regular posting with timely information, is there a way to
- speed up it's delivery, or automate for more convenience?
-
- -- What is the purpose of rec.radio.info?
-
- The purpose or charter of rec.radio.info is to provide the Usenet community with
- a resource for information, news, and facts about any and all things radio.
-
- All the other rec.radio groups are intended for discussions and general chit
- chat about radio. Rec.radio.info will contain informational, factual articles
- only. Follow-ups are redirected to an appropriate other group, and further
- discussion (if any) will not take place in rec.radio.info.
-
- In order to ensure that rec.radio.info contains only appropriate articles, it
- was decided to create the group as a moderated newsgroup.
-
- -- Why are messages almost always cross posted to rec.radio.info?
-
- It provides a "tag" for each article to be assembled into a filtered
- presentation in rec.radio.info (even with cross-posting, only one message, with
- a unique Message-ID, is propogated across the net). This tag also facilitates
- a pre-existing method of dropping or cancelling the articles locally within the
- discussion groups if you don't want to see them. This accommodates individuals
- who want to separate the bulletins from the discussions, discussions from the
- bulletins, as well as those who are adamant about not reading another
- newsgroup and wanted to see everything all in one basket.
-
- With the total size of Usenet (in number of newsgroups and total traffic)
- doubling every year or so, this is no insignificant contribution to reducing
- information noise and chaos. Making the discussion groups a catch-all, and
- making extra newsgroups filters on that catch-all, is also the most realistic
- way to implement such a scheme (It's not intuitively obvious what the charter,
- contents, and general appropriate topics for each and every newsgroup are.
- Seeing FAQ's and charter/intro postings in the home newsgroup is beneficial
- for new readers).
-
- By cross-posting one only is adding a few tens of bytes to each bulletin (to
- specify the extra group on the Newsgroups line), but are adding the capability
- for very powerful filtering features available on most news servers,
- listservers and readers. Your local news guru could probably explain these
- features in more detail.
-
- In rn, for example, according to Leanne Phillips in her rn kill-file FAQ, add
- a line of the form:
- /Newsgroups:.*[ ,]rec\.radio\.info/h:j
- either in ~/News/KILL (if you don't want to see rec.radio.info articles
- anywhere) or ~/News/rec/radio/amateur/misc/KILL (if you don't want to see them
- just in rec.radio.amateur.misc). The latter method means your kill file will
- only be consulted during rec.radio.amateur.misc (and hence runs more
- efficiently), and will probably work for most people.
-
- In nn, according to Bill Wohler in his nn FAQ, add a line of the form:
- rec.radio.info:!s/:^
- in ~/.nn/kill (if you don't want to see rec.radio.info articles anywhere), or
- put the following lines:
- sequence
- rec.radio.info
- rec.radio.
- at the end of ~/.nn/init in order to see all the rec.radio.info bulletins first,
- then read the remaining rec.radio.* without the bulletins.
-
- -- What is a 'follow-up', and what does 'moderated' mean?
-
- If you are new to Usenet and are not familiar with the terminology, you might
- want to read the general introductory articles found in the newsgroup
- news.announce.newusers. Doing so will make your life on the net much easier,
- and will probably save you from making silly beginner's mistakes.
-
- If you think that at this moment you are reading an echo, a conference, or
- a bulletin board, I'd also strongly suggest a trip over to
- news.announce.newusers.
-
- For the rest of this article, I will assume you have a basic knowledge of
- Usenet terminology and mechanics.
-
- A moderated group means that any article that needs to be posted to the group
- has to be accepted by the moderator of the group. Since we need to ensure that
- followups to an article (discussion) do not show up in the rec.radio.info
- newsgroup, the `Followup-To:' header line contains a newsgroup that is
- appropriate for disussions about the specific article.
-
- -- OK, so now I know what 'moderated' means. Tell me more.
-
- Rec.radio.info is a moderated newsgroup, which means that all articles
- submitted to the group will have to be approved by the moderator first.
-
- The current moderator of the group is Mark Salyzyn. Submissions to
- rec.radio.info can be posted, or e-mailed to:
-
- rec-radio-info@ve6mgs.ampr.ab.ca
-
- Comments, criticisms, suggestions or questions about the group can be e-mailed
- to:
- rec-radio-request@ve6mgs.ampr.ab.ca
-
- But before you do so, please be sure to check out the "Submission Guidelines"
- article.
-
- The influence of the moderator should be minimal and of an administrative
- nature, consisting chiefly of weeding out obviously inappropriate articles,
- while making sure correct headers etc. are used for the appropriate ones.
-
- -- What type of material is considered inappropriate?
-
- There are three broad categories of articles which will be rejected by the
- moderator:
-
- 1) Requests for information: rec.radio.info is strictly a one-way street. I
- receive information in my mailbox; I then post it to rec.radio.info.
- Requests for specific information belong in the normal discussion newsgroups.
- If your request gets answered, you might consider passing the answer on to
- rec.radio.info, though. Especially if you can edit it into a informational,
- rather than a discussion, format.
-
- 2) Obvious discussion articles, or articles that appear unsubstantiated.
-
- 3) Commercial stuff: a relatively unbiased test of a radio product would be
- accepted, but any hint of for-profit might be reason for rejection. For three
- reasons: This is not the purpose of the list, for-profit is a controversial
- topic, and this list may be passed onto Amateur Packet Radio (where
- for-profit is prohibited except under certain provisos).
-
- rec.radio.swap (or possibly comp.newprod) may be more deserving of the
- posting in any matter.
-
- Similarly, copyrighted material generally cannot be used. If it's TRULY
- worthwhile to the net, I would recommend obtaining permission from the
- copyright holder. Please note the source, and if permission was given. I
- reserve the right to make the final decision concerning appropriateness in
- all situations. In most cases, a brief summary of, or pointer to, the
- copyrighted information may be all I can allow.
-
- -- I do not have access to news, how can I get the information posted to
- rec.radio.info?
-
- brian@UCSD.EDU (Brian Kantor) has kindly supplied a mail list server for
- rec.radio.info. Non of the articles will be digested, due to their size, so
- you will receive individual mailings for every article posted to the group.
-
- Mail sent to radio-info@ucsd.edu will be forwarded to the moderator and
- thus is an alias to rec-radio-info@ve6mgs.ampr.ab.ca
-
- To subscribe and unsubscribe via the listserver; the format for that is
-
- sub address radio-info
- unsub address radio-info
-
- where 'address' is your full mailing address. Send this request to
-
- listserv@ucsd.edu
-
- Note that the server will automatically delete any address that bounces mail.
- If you leave the address portion blank, it will try to deduce your address
- from the mail headers. This may not work if you are on bitnet, milnet or
- some other non-Unix host, so it is recommended to put your return address
- in any case. For example:
-
- sub mymailbox@myhost.mydomain.mil radio-info
- or
- sub MEMEME01@DMBHST.bitnet radio-info
-
- or something like that.
-
- -- Will the material appearing in rec.radio.info be archived somewhere?
-
- Yes. Still firming up details at the moment but here is a preliminary list:
- - unbc.edu as maintained by Lyndon Nerenberg <lyndon@unbc.edu>
- - nic.funet.fi maintained by Risto Kotalampi <rko@cs.tut.fi>
- saved to /pub/dx/text/rec.radio.info currently stored as
- numbered files.
-
- Effectively this means that anything you post to rec.radio.info will be
- permanently stored, so your work will not be lost.
-
- -- I have a regular posting with timely information, is there a way to
- speed up it's delivery, or automate for more convenience?
-
- Yes, there is! It may take a bit of chatter with the moderator, but we are
- willing to take responsible people and provide them the means of posting the
- articles directly from their site. We will try everything we can as we fully
- realize that DX (distant signal) and astronomical data can be somewhat
- transitory. We are also willing to allow regular posters of information the
- same courtesy, even if the information is not as time critical.
-
- We refer to this as self-moderation, which is partly based on the model for
- news.answer. This requires co-operation and good will to be beneficial to
- the community in the rec.radio hierarchy.
-
- I suggest reading the posting guidelines for more information. I am open to
- suggestions.
-
- I thank the following individuals for their input into this article:
- rec.music.info moderator Leo Breebaart rec-music-info@cp.tn.tudelft.nl
- rec.radio.broadcasting moderator Bill Pfeiffer wdp@gagme.chi.il.us
