I'd hate to see Usenet go because it has been around a long time.
However there are a multitude of Ham orientated and Amateur Radio
antenna groups within Yahoo Groups. Most of them are also moderated,
which means flame wars like this usually get extinguished pretty

No, thanks. Yahoo groups are NOT the same as Usenet or a reasonable
substitute for international newsgroups with nntp feeds. A better
alternative at the moment are alternate newsfeeds like giganews.
