Mike reminded us that  NEQP was couple of weeks away. Discussion of members’ plans and last year’s results.

Boxboro is how we make money. Last time we didn’t make a whole lot of money (less than a year’s expenses while we usually make 2.x times that much).

We couldn’t field a big enough team to perform like previous years.

Raffle now would cost each member an assessment of $???. Would it be better to have dues and cut out the middleman?

If you are familiar with the interactive meeting notice skip down to “Topics“. This is an interactive meeting notice. What, you may ask, is an interactive meeting notice? As the phrase suggests, it is a meeting notice which requires interaction by the readers. For example: we need to have topics for presentation at the meeting; we need presenters; we need volunteers to provide lunch; we need to know who is coming to the meeting so the quantity of lunch portions may be determined, and so on. This post will be updated as interactions (comments) are appended.

Here are of couple of charts of usage of the site the last half of last month.

 

 

 

There were intervals of several days when the site was not blocked to non-members as we experimented with how to safely open much of the site. During these intervals we were visited by nearly 100 non-members. What is not yet clear is how many of them were curious hams versus “intruders” looking for ways to do damage of one sort or another.

An Index To Posts has been added to make it easier to find things on the member site. There are hundreds of posts on the site and more are being added daily. All of these posts have been indexed by title and the index is only a click away:

  It is possible to find information in several other ways as well, e.g.,  Search by content, Search by Tag, etc.

  On most pages there is a right hand sidebar containing information about the site and functions you can perform. Among the most useful of these is the Tags area which contains a list of all the tags that have been assigned to the Posts and a visual clue as to how many posts are associated with each tag. If, for example, you wanted to see all posts tagged as relating to antenna-work you could click on that tag to retrieve the posts.

  The value of the information contained in the site increases daily. Using this data is only possible if it can be found when needed. In this Post I have shown you three ways to retrieve Posts that may contain the information you seek. These methods depend for their success on your cooperation when you create a Post. First you must title the Post with something relevant to the contents of the Post. Second you should tag the Post before you Publish it. In the right sidebar of the Post Edit screen is an area called Tags which contains all the tags already in use. If one or more of these match the content of your Post choose it(them). If they don’t fit your Post then creat a new tag or tags. Doing these simple things will make it much easier in the future to retrieve the info.
