Is usenet working?
Obviously not. Did you use the proper ARRL-approved procedure
and correct prosigns?
Do you do that?
The above message appeared on Coronation Day (20 Jan 05)
download of this newsgroup from AOL.
If this was inauguration day for John Kerry, would it have been
Coronation Day?
Had there been observation of the Newsgroup NEWS on AOL
you would have seen the announcement (by AOL) that they
had "technical difficulties" in interfacing to INTERNET
newsgroups. On that same AOL NEWS section there is NO
indication that AOL will be dropping newsgroup connections
to the INTERNET in "early 2005."
Suggestion: Connect to DARPANET directly and use morse
code mode communications. After all, "CW gets through
when nothing else will, right?"
Tell us again what "usenet" stands for, Leonard.
