NPARC
Email Reflector
The Club's email reflector
is
a way for
subscribing club members to send a message to all
other subscribers. We use it to:
* announce club meetings and other activities
* ask for information or help on radio related topics
* share information or interesting radio related discoveries
* post "wanted" and "for sale" items
* conduct group discussions
Our goal is to have every club member
subscribe to
the reflector, so that we can share
important club news quickly and easily.
Note: Reflector
membership is restricted to NPARC members in order
to avoid unsolicited commercial postings (spam).
The reflector is
hosted by a non-profit ham radio group called QSL / QTH.Net The club sends an annual donation to QSL/QTH
to help support this valuable service).

Subscribing
(Joining the Reflector)
You can subscribe to the QTH reflector either through a
Reflector Info web site or
by email.
When subscribing, please use the email address that you will use to
send reflector postings, since submissions from any
other address will be rejected. If you have more than one email address, for
example work and home, you won't be able to send messages from both addresses --
unless you register both addresses (and get messages at both places). Do not use
a forwarding address such as arrl.net since you can't send mail to the reflector
from such an address.
After you submit your subscription request, you will be
sent an email "confirmation request" to make sure
it was really you
who made the subscription request.
This step prevents others from subscribing you without
your knowledge. After you reply to the confirming message,
you will be sent a welcoming message with further instructions about using the reflector.
2. Sending a message
After you join (subscribe to) the reflector,
you can send a message to everyone by sending it to:
NPARC@mailman.qth.net
3. Password
When you first sign up, you will be asked to pick a password for your subscription
account. Pick an unimportant, unique password of your choice. Don't pick the one
you use for other, important accounts, since reminder messages with your
password will be sent to you monthly (or upon request from the Reflector Info
web site) and they could be intercepted.
If you forget your password, you can go to the
Reflector Info web site and ask for it to be emailed to you. (You can't use the
email option to ask for your password; you must use the Reflector Info web
site.)
