"I found this list by googling "RFI Mailing List", when I initially had an RFI problem. If I need the archives, I just google "RFI mailing list
archives"."

It adds to the confusion when one realizes that contesting.com page is "Copyright 2000-2008 eHam.Net".

Yes, ones best bet is to guess that such a list exists, then do a general search, and find something that looks right. In this case, since we suspect there's an RFI list associated with contesting that we are already members of, we see the result we expect to find, but imagine the poor fool coming in blind.

I became aware of the list years ago, not by searching, but mention of such a list on a ham radio intruders forum, and someone there provided a link, not to contesting.com, where no lists are mentioned, or even eHam, which seems to host it, but rather, to the page to sign up, which of course isn't even the actual contesting.com related page that lists the lists, if one finds that! God only knows how that person learned of the list.

It reminds me of that communication exercise of listing the steps of how to make a sandwich. Most steps skipped, the rest, assumed, the result, deranged failure, and no sandwich.
