Important Site Update

2007-11-28T19:11:00.000-08:00

Starting 11-29-07 the pages on the pghconnect servers will no longer be available. I will attempt to place a redirect message on there. The QSL.net and Geocities (Yahoo) sites will still be available and maintained. The third site will now be on Verizon. The URL for these pages is http://mysite.verizon.net/k3fss All of these pages will be maintained and uploaded at the same time. Please do not try to use the Pghconnect pages as they will no longer be.

I have uploaded all of the pages, and files to the new site already. Or, at least I think I uploaded all of them.

Also note that my email address has also changed. I will attempt to upload all of the pages with the correct email address. I am hoping to get this done tomorrow before that email address is no longer functional. There may be a chance that email addresses on the web pages will be wrong for the next day or two. The email address has been updated on Blogger

Please let me know of any pages, files, email addresses, or anything else that got overlooked in the transition
