[IRCA] New Ultralight Yahoo Group Founded

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As per the discussion here over the last few days, I've energized the 
new yahoo group "ultralightdx."  It is intended as a place to share 
discussions, sound clips, ultralight loggings and discussions of 
ultralight equipment and its possible modification. The group is 
"unmoderated" meaning that no one previews postings for 
acceptability, etc.  However, normal radio and internet etiquette 
will prevail, we hope. I should also note that the group is totally 
public and completely inclusive. Any interested DXer may join without 
seeking approval from anyone, simply by going to 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ultralightdx/ and clicking "Join."

I'm sure that all of the folks involved in both IRCA and 
ultralighting join me in thanking  the leadership of IRCA and the 
members of this e-mail group for both the support and the indulgence 
that you have shown to the rather explosive growth of this new niche 
of the MW hobby that we all love. The forbearance of the membership 
who are totally uninterested in ultralighting was and will remain 
especially appreciated. If some of our postings have seemed overly 
enthusiastic, its likely that they really were an accurate picture of 
the thrills that many of us have been getting from these little monsters.

I do not expect that ultralighting will disappear from these pages 
and I know that Nick's Technical Column will have a number of 
Ultralight articles in the upcoming months.  Likewise, as far as any 
of us know, there are no plans to abandon the Ultralight dimension 
that has been so heavily used on dxer.ca.  That website's owner, 
Colin Newell is due special recognition for providing us a 
web-visible outlet and practically unlimited storage space for 
important files: a service that this group simply isn't structured to 
provide. If you wish to just occasionally dip your toe in the water 
of ultralighting, watching the IRCA message stream and checking in 
the home page and files areas of dxer.ca is exactly your ticket. If 
you want all the nitty-gritty of ultralighting, you might want to add 
the new yahoo group to your other web memberships.
