[VHFcontesting] Spam on the list

[Eugene Zimmerman]

I can do that but I would prefer not to so that all who wish to post germane
information can do so. Everyone can already read the archives on
contesting.com. And most [all?] of the lists on contesting.com are open to
all posters.

If the spam gets out of hand, I will be forced to configure the list only to
subscribers.
