KB6NU's Ham Radio Blog /////////////////////////////////////////// Announcing the 2016 Michigan QSO Party Posted: 07 Apr 2016 11:15 AM PDT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/kb6nu...m_medium=email As those of you who have read my blog before know, Im a big booster of state QSO parties. Well, the Michigan QSO Party is happening on Saturday, April 16, from 1600Z to 0400Z. Â* As I did last year, I plan to operate with the University of Michigan Amateur Radio Club. They have an ongoing rivalry with the Michigan State University Amateur Radio Club. Theres even a trophy thats held by the winner of the competition, in the spirit of the Paul Bunyan Trophy, which goes to the winner of the U-M/MSU football game. Its called the Ole Log, and as you can see from the picture above, it kind of looks like the state of Michigan.Â*Last year, we trounced the MSU team, and we plan to do it again this year. At any rate, I hope that youll consider participating, and if you do, that youll listen for us. Our callsignÂ*is W8UM. Heres the announcement from our Division Director, WA8EFK: Just Have Some Fun!!!!! Chance to get on the air Single Op, Multi Op, Mobile, EOC Be the station others want to work Maybe activate a rare county? Excellent Club Activity Reason to get together as group Join the fun in the “EOC” station category Excellent Training opportunity! Get new members on the air! Friendly Competition Let’s all help make Michigan “radio-active” on the 16th ofÂ*April!!!! Get your local EOC on the air and show the emergency management teamÂ*how amateur radio can benefit their efforts!!! The 2016 Michigan QSO Party, sponsored by the Mad River Radio Club, isÂ*from 1600Z April 16 until 0400Z April 17. Â* Stations may operate the full 12 hours. Phone and CW on 80/40/20/15/10Â*meters.

To the moderators of rec.radio.amateur.moderated; Please stop posting these blog echos here. I'd like to see this group be a useful place to discuss homebrew equipment, but your posts drown out any useful content that might happen. Can't you stick to your own moderated group? You have managed to kill it off with virtually no postings other than the blog echos you seem obsessed with. -- Rick |

You have managed to kill it off with virtually no postings other than the blog echos you seem obsessed with. It appears you do not understand "moderated newsgroups"... When someone, e.g. KB6NU, posts a message to multiple newsgroups that include a moderated group, e.g.: Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.moderated,rec.radio.amateur.home brew the news posting software will recognize this and instead of posting it will mail the message to the moderator of the moderated group, who will then post the message in both groups. So, when you see a multiposted message in a moderated and non-moderated group, it will appear like it is being posted by the moderator, but in reality there is someone else who has originally submitted the message. In this case that may be KB6NU or someone else who likes to relay those blog messages to usenet, but the poster is not necessarily related to the moderator of the group. |

In this case that may be KB6NU or someone else who likes to relay those blog messages to usenet, but the poster is not necessarily related to the moderator of the group. Incorrect on several counts. First of all, this is not a moderated newsgroup. Second of all, if you look at the headers, it is NOT KB6NU who is posting to the group - it is panix.com. And even if this were a moderated newsgroup, moderation does NOT change who the poster is. Otherwise all messages to a moderated newsgroup would have the moderator's id. And even postings to unmoderated newsgroups would have the moderator's id. This is proven false simply because rickman's posting also went to r.r.a.m, yet it has his info as the poster. And finally, panix.com is well-known for taking blog postings off the internet (not always with the poster's permission, which is a copyright violation) and posting them in multiple newsgroups. So it seems rickman is correct, and it is you who doesn't understand how usenet works. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry, AI0K ================== |

Firstly we do know they are related and work together. Secondly, it is the choice of moderators to allow cross-posts to their newsgroup: many don't. -- Roger Hayter |

I found my reply to the original message showed up in r.r.a.m, so either the reply escaped moderation or the moderators have moderated their policies on moderation. lol I've sent messages before that attempted to discuss the nature of the group and they were rejected because they were meta-discussions... discussions about the mechanism of discussion. I was actually trying to see if I could get some conversations going in r.r.a.m and started with saying something like, "I don't see many conversations here". That was the content that caused my post to be rejected. I can see why no one posts in r.r.a.m. I don't get why they need to trash r.r.a.h as well. It has a chance of getting useful discussions going. -- Rick |

Apparently you did not even bother to read it... the messages are posted to TWO newsgroups, one moderated and one not moderated. That leads to the mechanism I describe. |

And bypassing submission to the moderation email address. -- Roger Hayter |

And you obviously did not even read my response. So before you jump to conclusions and criticize others, you need to know how things work. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry, AI0K ================== |
