                   Wecome to The DrakeList ListServer !


            This list is maintained by K3HRN, who can be reached at
                              k3hrn{at}zerobeat.net


                            General Information
                            -------------------
RULES OF THE ROAD (May 27, 2004)


1. Unless it's absolutely required to make the message clear, do NOT
     quote the original message in total, no one needs the extra bandwidth.
2. Do NOT attach files to you messages to the list.  If what you have is
     of nterest to a large number of list members, send it to the list
     owner for posting on the web site.
3. While notices of items for sale can be posted, this list is NOT to be
       used to market auction items.
4. This list does not allow subscriptions from forwarded email addresses.
       If you have subscribed from this type of address(arrl.net, qsl.net,
       amsat.org, etc.), please unsubscribe and subscribe from an account
       that is not forwarded.

Subcription/unsubscription/info requests should always be sent to
majordomo{at}www.zerobeat.net

Our list is called "drakelist{at}www.zerobeat.net" .

To subscribe to the  mailinglist, simply send a message with the words
"subscribe drakelist" in the body of the message to
majordomo{at}zerobeat.net.

As in:          To: majordomo{at}www.zerobeat.net
                    Subject: subscribe
                    Body of message  subscribe drakelist

To unsubscribe from the drakelist, simply send a message to
majordomo{at}zerobeat.net with the words unsubscribe drakelist
in the body of the message.

As in:          To: majordomo{at}www.zerobeat.net
                    Subject: unsubscribe
                    Body of the message unsubscribe drakelist

In the event of an address change, it would probably be the wisest to
first send an unsubscribe for the old address (this can be done from the
new address), and then a new subscribe for the new address
(THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT).

Most (un)subscription requests are processed automatically without human
intervention.

Do not send multiple (un)subscription or info requests in one mail.  Only
one will be processed per mail.

NOTE: The -request server usually does quite a good job in discriminating
          between (un)subscribe requests and messages intended for the
          maintainer.

          If you no longer have access to the original address you used to
          subscribe to the list, please send email to:
          k3hrn{at}zerobeat.net requesting that your old address be
          deleted.

5. MIME Encloded Messages:
    Our list doesn't appreciate MIME encoded messages.  The biggest problem 
is how
    do we set up our mail clients to NOT send messages in that fashion.

    http://www.expita.com/nomime.html  has a lot of current information on the
    subject.  If you've ever been asked to turn off the mime, and not sure
    how to...this is the link.

6. POSTING FOR SALE AND WANT TO BUY MESSAGES

    Please feel free to post your For Sale and Want to buy messages to the
    list, as long as:

    They are not directing us to participate in an Ebay or other Auction
    They are not written in such a way to create a bidding situation in this
    mailing list.

    It should go without saying or regulating  the For Sale and Want To Buy
    messages on this list are based on the premise that the list members have
    an interest in Drake Equipment, and the posting of the messages offer a
    service to other members of the list.

    Those that cross a T and dot an i will ponder whether or not a post about
    the value of a piece of drake gear is acceptable.  In most instances it is
