60metersonline WEB news by Joe, W8GEX

60metersonline WEB news by Joe, W8GEX

"As you know, we have a 60m website, www.60metersonline.com. It was built and is maintained by Mike, a non-ham friend of mine, at no charge to us. Because of recent changes by the provider, Mike had to rebuild the entire site which took a lot of time. He does a great job and we certainly appreciate the time he devotes to our hobby.
It’s time to renew our domain name and pay for the site. The renewal is for three years and I am asking for a donation from each of you. I haven’t asked for money in quite a while but it is needed now to keep the website active.

This has nothing to do with my 60m DX Newsletter as I do this as a volunteer to promote 60 meters.
I know many of you use this website, so we need everyone to help.

To donate go to www.60metersonline.com and click the “Donate” button at the top of the page.

I, and all other 60m operators, appreciate your generosity.
