[ Long ] Non-HEATH sites as good like this one? + other sites?

[Chuck W4MIL]

 GM Robert (et al),

Go to www.qsl.net

There is a link to many available reflectors.? Some of these are more active than others, so you might wish to review the "digests" for each to see if the chit-chat is what you're looking for.? My experience tells me the HEATH, COLLINS and a couple of Boatanchor lists are reasonably active and stay pretty much on point.? There are a couple of lists where more than one curmudgeon hangs out offering information on everything from the big bang to exact geographic features on the back side of the moon.? But they add to the mix, and the delete key still works when their comments get to be too much.

Good luck and hope you find what you're looking for.

C U down the lists.

Chuck, W4MIL

Hello,

1.  I have questions regarding some non-HEATH radios, old and new, made by
other specific manufactures that I'd like to be able to pose to an
experienced and knowledgeable group of people (you know --- like I do when
asking my HEATH questions to the folks on this HEATH list mailer, for
example).  We really have a solid and helpful knowledge base here, I have to
say.

Can anyone that's familiar with these other list servers please supply me
with a pretty comprehensive set of what they consider to be good, 'List
Server sites,' where I can read how to Register with them to become a
member?  I want to join some other mailing lists with a lot of long term
knowledge in its members --- if that's possible.

The other manufactures that come to mind are: ICOM, YAESU (VERTEX), KENWOOD,
DRAKE, COLLINS, etc. (???)

2.  I am also looking for just plain old websites (not 'list servers,' per
se), that have a where the amateur radio operator community consensus about
them is the they are very good people to deal with.  Maybe sites that trade,
or fix, the other brands I named above (Heath, too.  Of course!).  Or
specialize in them to some extent. Also looking for any particular good
radios dealer's web sites that our amateur radio community seems to like.

I am getting sick of EBay.

I would certainly appreciate hearing from any of you who can give me some
information on web sites of the sort mentioned for those manufactures ---
the ones with the personal touch.

Cheers,
--- Rob
