For those of you who have missed your daily dose of the T-T list, it
appears that it is back in operation.
There were multiple hardware failures on the server and, in the process
of getting it working again, a decision was made to upgrade the software
as well. It went down a week ago today. This outage affected not only
the tentec mailing list, but other popular lists hosted by contesting.com
such as CQ-Contest and WriteLog.
If any of you sent messages to the list, undoubtedly they were bounced
back to you. Thus, you might want to send them again.
Oddly, only about a dozen of you sent e-mail to me to ask what was
happening - and not until today. Thanks for your patience! I could
imagine getting 600 individual e-mails during the outage.
Since I have no way to contact all list members with a single message when
the list is unavailable, if something like this should happen in the
future, I would suggest going to: www.contesting.com to check on the
status. The server owners have been great about posting updates there.
So, back to our normal activities!
