Hi Hubert.
The way I keep the information I want to save is by making some new
folders. I have a folder for "rtty info", "ant info", "contest info",
"stuff", etc. If I find something on the Towertalk reflector I want to
save, I put it in the "ant info" folder. Same with contest, rtty, etc.
Keeps it all separated out by catagories so you don't have to search
through 2 or 3 thousand messages. There's a wealth of info on this
reflector. Some people also print it out and put it in notebooks.. 73
