To: ham-ant@ucsd.edu I would very much like to see a new newsgroup: rec.radio.amateur.propagation. Am I the only one ? To me the newly created newsgroups .antenna, .equipment etc. are doing very well. The point is that the new groups create more discussion on these areas. Atleast I think so. Another thing is that it is much more convenient to read these groups since they are not loaded with stuff you are not interested. Or is there a propagation newsgroup I haven't found yet ?
