Topband: Need authors! & eHam.net update

[Bill Fisher - W4AN]

We have gone through a major upgrade at eHam.net.  We are now hosting the
site on a new system and the site is running on a much more robust 
platform.  

NEED AUTHORS!
-------------
One of the applications that we added to the site is an authoring tool
called Articles.  You can write articles about ham radio in plain text,
html, or Microsoft Word and upload them directly to the site.  We are also
paying authors for articles submitted.  Please see
http://www.eham.net/articles/payhelp for more information on our Pages
that Pay program.

NEW APPLICATIONS!
-----------------
We have also upgraded all of the applications added a few new features:

-Security - Much better security to prevent someone posting as you.
-Articles - Upload articles about ham radio.
-Forums - Place to talk about ham radio topics.  Subscribe to individual
topics rather than an entire forum (reflector).
-Strays - Post tidbits of information for the front page of the site.
-Exams - New question pool.
-Preferences - We'll remember your preferences when you come back to the
site.  So if you only want to see DX Spot on 160M, we'll know it and show
you only those spots each time you come back.  If you want to only see new
classified ads viewed in detail, we'll remember that too.


CONTESTING.COM web site update
------------------------------

We are going to upgrade the contesting.com web site and are looking for a
few managers to handle a few of the applications.  Actually, we are
looking for some help on eHam.net too.  If you have a few minutes a day to
help out with managing and promoting the site, please drop me a
note.  I'll forward it to the appropriate person.
