IMHO I am not a Facebook user. However it seems to me it is just another “tool” in the amateur radio toolbox. There are a lot of facets/choices in our hobby, even in QRP, and none are really

Yep! A lot of people who are anti-FB don't seem to understand how it works and the control they actually have. And to amplify (only to 5 Watts!) Dale's comments, the real-time back and forth on FB

I am not so sure. The FOXHUNT organization, expanded to FB, a few years ago.. and I had plenty of reservations. HOWEVER, they didn't pan out.. the concerns didn't happen.. the bad end all.. didn't

I agree. The beginning of the end for one or the other. Ken ke4rg

I would think that one would study and understand Facebook before having such strong opinions against. I think a study would show a large percentage of ham and technology based organizations are on

Our kids made a facebook site for us. While Bev and I do not contribute to it we do enjoy what the kids are saying/doing. It is completely safe since it is "for us", not "by us". Dave & Bev K8WPE

I just joined. While I don't post I enjoy lurking to learn what I can from others who have "been there, done that". Dave K8WPE

Congratulations. You have just factionalized the group. Call it what you will, argue whichever position you want, but that is the end result. Maybe it will work out. I hope so. David, WA7ZYQ Sent

I would add my HERE HERE to Ed's comments. My grandkids almost insisted that I get on facebook quite a while back. I see and enjoy Ed's comments and pictures. I will go sign up right now de Paul

Hi Ken, My take on this thread is facebook might be an additional resource for 4SQRP and not a "migration". I don't hate or detest any of that stuff but I am more focused on email, snail mail, and um

A group has been created on Facebook: 4SQRP - Four State QRP <https://www.facebook.com/groups/1841092159236098/> 1. The Facebook group will NOT replace the email reflector as the primary source of

Setting up a Facebook 4SQRP Group is easy and can be a Closed Group. The moderator(s) of the reflector could be moderator of the group. Posting about Big Brutus with photos of the event would

This was the perfect year to have camped at Brutus. Mild temps and gentle breezes. Wish we could have strung together 2 days instead of a single afternoon 72, -Ed, WG5F-

My reference to hacking of a Facebook site by provincial police referred to suspected criminal activity either of an electronic or other non-electronic nature. Jim Hodgson VA3HOD

Chas; I've wished that our group was represented on Facebook as I visit it several times a day. My prescience there grew after a class reunion. It's been terrific seeing classmates from kindergarten

I hate Facebook. Leave me out. Endless mindless nonsense. Short bursts of idiocy. Not secure. Also I don't need Birthday greetings, Happy Holiday greetings, and notification your dog
