SEND E-Mail


I don't know about you, but I'm sick of getting dozens and dozens and more dozens of unsolicited e-mails everyday! You know--get rich quick schemes, sources of Viagra, links to porn sites, lower mortgage rates, things to make body parts bigger, chain letters, more get rich quick schemes, and still more stuff that I could not, in my lifetime, care any less about.

How did these SPAMers get ahold of our e-mail addresses? One way is through "spider" programs that prowl the web looking for addresses. My website, and my radio club's website both have had "mailto" links which allow visitors to click and send a message. Unfortunately, I've had to remove the clickable links in an attempt to slow down the barrage of SPAM! It may not work, but I'm going to try and circumvent the "spiders".

If you're reading this website, you're most likely a fellow Radio Amateur, so I want to hear from you. Instead of clicking on a link, though, I'm going to ask you to send mail to:

"mycall"@arrl.net

Of course, putting K5IQ in place of "mycall"! As I said, it may not work, but maybe, just maybe, it will help stem the spread of SPAM! (By the way, I actually enjoy the real Hormel Spam product, including the new Turkey Spam, pictured above)!
