POLL: The future of OzLogger Forum

[VK4ADC]

Hi Doug,

I agree with the others. A Forum is the best way to store this information for long-term use. FB is rubbish for that.

Regarding activity and number of users, perhaps advertising is the answer. How about submitting a short piece to David VK5KK for inclusion in the VHF/UHF Column of AR? Plugs on the VK-VHF and VK-Microwave reflectors would also help. Not sure how you feel about overseas participation, but there are the Microwave, UKMicrowaves and Moon-Net reflectors also.

Regards,
Dave

Maybe "advertising" in AR is a partial answer but I would have thought that it (advertising some details) could easily be overlooked. I suspect that word-of-mouth (/ email ?) would be better so if people actively using the forum told another 5 to 10 amateurs about the forum's presence and they then participated, it would be more active and more interesting to all.

I am hesitant to just join a reflector like the VK-VHF to plug the forum. It states "General information about personal web pages is not usually appropriate, unless the web page/s may reasonably be considered a valuable information resource for list members, such as some moonbounce, propagation or equipment construction websites." While those topics are certainly catered for, and it really isn't a personal web site, it would be better emanating from an existing reflector member. Any volunteers ??

I note that (at present) there is one vote for "Restructured : It needs to be restructured to be better in some form. { If this is your choice then please post your suggestions against this topic }" yet the person who voted that way did not bother to explain how it could be done in a subsequent post. I am interested to find out what you anticipate would be better so please expand your thoughts and post them. PM me if you do not want to post publicly.

Please keep the votes and comments coming. It helps define the future of the forum.
