Public: Antennaware reflector on contesting[dot]com

Open discussion on the FCP, improving, research on, theory and modeling of MF/LF antennas and related subjects may be had on the Antennaware reflector at contesting[dot]com. To eliminate spam, you must first subscribe to the reflector.

If you are considering the digest delivery format, be warned in advance that longish technical postings are permitted (blather of all lengths is discouraged). Individual emails filtered by your mail reader to a folder may be a better method not requiring changing the subject line and trimming off other posts in the digest.

At times the list may be moderated and there will be a delay between posting and display on the reflector. If the Mailman email system has rejected your posting, you will receive an immediate automated response from Mailman indicating the problem. A moderator's explanatory response may be delayed.

The advertised content for Antennware is "MF/LF Antennas, Antenna Modeling, Design, Research". So content completely unrelated to FCP, etc, is probable.

Contacting K2AV via telephone call

If you and K2AV have agreed to contact via a telephone call, this is a reminder of the procedure you were given to set up the call and the explanation why the procedure is needed.

The procedure is necessary because of the amazing number of junk phone calls received by K2AV. Some days had over thirty junk calls. An iPhone has a setting to allow only callers on its contact list to ring through and be displayed in notifications. This is the only scheme that has worked to eliminate the junk calls that would otherwise render the phone useless for incoming calls.

So we need to get a K2AV telephone correspondent listed on K2AV's contact list. To allow a correspondent to not put their phone number in email and keep it private, the instruction was to text their call sign to the cellphone number K2AV gave them in email. K2AV would then add the texting phone number and call sign to his contacts list. K2AV texts back to arrange time and date and phone calls come through.

And of course K2AV correspondents' phone numbers will NEVER be given out.
