CHEAPEST MAG SUB AGENCY - SHIPS WORLDWIDE+FREE 1yrSUB
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THIS IS BEING
POSTED AS AN INFORMATION SERVICE TO INFORM PEOPLE OF THE AVAILABLITY OF
THIS INFORMATIONAL RESOURCE:  MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS.  I OBTAIN NO BENEFIT
FROM POSTING THIS MESSAGE OTHER THAN THE SATISFACTION OF HELPING OTHERS
SAVE MONEY AND DIRECTING THEM TO A USEFUL CLUB.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My name is
Annette Dove and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in
the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first
paid order- and I have been very pleased with them.  They guarantee to
beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of
the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little
cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet.  They assured me that
if I ever do, they will beat it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I started using
them when I was in the USA and now I go to school in Finland and they help
me here, too. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from
a special list of over 275 popular titles published in the USA.  They will
give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with
them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different
popular titles they sell.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> They can arrange
delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around
35 or 36 countries now.  Outside the USA there is a charge for foreign
postage and handling (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from
magazine to magazine.  I have found their staff to be very friendly and
courteous.  They even helped me with an address change when I moved from
one country to another.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The owner thinks
of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"  (even though
there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase
automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he
accepts as a new member.  When he sets you up as a new member, he himself
calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or
sometimes he has one of his assistants call.  He is kind of quirky
sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi
to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can
place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> He has some
really friendly ng ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much
as he does about this magazine stuff.  If you live overseas, he will even
call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes
all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance
rates are cheaper then.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> He only likes to
take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he
does virtually no advertising- so you can email me and I will forward your
message on to him as a referral.  When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week
waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up.
(Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call.
) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same
day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff.  I am
not sure about this.........but if you email me, I will forward your info
to them right away.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> They will send
you some FREE info. via E-mail (the short version (around 40K) of their
catalogue, or if you request it the DELUXE LONG VERSION (around 300K-big
and juicey) !)...if you fill out the form below.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> They then send
you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices
that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells;
and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure
no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all
your questions. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.  For more info, just email me and
I will forward you message to them.  Please fill out the below form and
email it to me at:

To: [e-mail]

A little credit ought to also be shared with the Scotsman who designed
the steam engine for Maxim's plane (didn't he call it the "Enormity"?).
That fellow's name was Roberts, and he later emmigrated to America, where
he designed an built 2-cycle boat motors--a derivation of which powered
many of the first "homebuilt" airplanes in North America.

Heh! You may also have been suffering from Attention Deficit Syndrome.
All the amateur radio magazines have been mentioning the need to
use the new 610 form (initial month for its use was June, as I
remember it) several months in advance of that date.

If you had been a member of ARRL they sent the new form out
unsolicited.

It used to be that one General class licensee was all that was needed to
administer a Novice exam. Then it was two. Now that its all rolled into
the VE program, 3 examiners are needed at all testing sessions for all
license classes.

Hi Brian, it is not a news or mail system problem. It in an info-hams
problem. (Info-hams is a subscription service over email). Even
if my email system attaches my correct address, it will be corrupted

The story used to pass around our radio club at Maryland about the ham
who was up on his tower doing work on the 432 antennas when somebody
down in the shack flipped on the 432 rig and 1 kW amp, and sent a CQ.

Maybe some other UMers reading this will be able to verify the story.
The man went blind from the RF.  Granted, 432 is considerably more
energetic than is 144 MHz, but it could still, conceivably, happen at
144.
