Hi all,
in the beginning of the year 2016 we got an excellent news from Joe, W8GEX regarding the new webpage 60metersonline.com ...
"Before I get into the new web page I would like to thank Bill AJ8B for  his hard work on the former website. Recently, Bill asked that I find a new  webmaster, as he is just too busy at work and with his family to devote the time  needed.
 
I have two non-ham friends who are a great team in doing websites. They  agreed to take on this task at no charge. In revamping the site, we now have a  new domain that ends with “.com”. The address (URL) of the new website  is: www.60metersonline.com 
 
Our new webmasters have developed a site that is informative, easy to  navigate and has a lot of good information about our band. We hope you like it  and we encourage you to tell others about www.60metersonline.com , in order to  promote 60 meters.
 
We would like to add more pictures of those that are active on the band,  as it is always good to see who we are talking to.  A picture of you  at your station or antenna farm would be appreciated.  Please send  your photos, along with a short bio to: “webmaster@60metersonline.com”
 
The cost of activating 60metersonline (domain name and hosting  service) was $111 US, and there will be an ongoing annual expense to keep  it alive. I paid the first year, so that we could get started. We will depend on  donations to help with the future expenses. The site has a PayPal button for  your convenience in making a contribution. Your donation is very much  appreciated!  There is so much information we can share to help  promote 60 meters and this should be of great  value.
 
Awards: at this time we have the WAS award. The rules and application can  be found under the “Achievement” button. Those operators who have 50  countries or more are posted here. NOTE! We realize that the WAS  Recipient list is not current and we invite you to help us bring it up to date.  Please inform me of any needed changes and/or  additions.
 
We want to get 2016 off to a good 60m start and hope you enjoy the new  website.  Any questions or suggestions, please forward to me  at w8gex@aol.com 
Thank,
Joe  W8GEX"
I would like to thank Bill, AJ8B for his job and I would like to thank Joe, W8GEX for his effort in order to get new webpage and start it using his own private budget for the first year. We should try to help him even by small donation to collect enough budget for the next years.
Also it will be great to start more participate by sending the informations, news and any kind of useful topics to webmaster in order to make the new webpage as interresting and updated as possible please.
My best regards,
73 - Petr, OK1RP
