We call it our "Blog Horn," and it allows you to post an announcement, inquiry, or message to all the other
subscribers on the list. The message is automatically sent to everyone, usually within minutes. We use it to
announce current expeditions and lighthouses or islands on the air. It's a good way to keep in touch on a
minute-by-minute basis with what's going on in the world of lights. Best of all it's free and easy to sign up.

A few reminders:
(A) The list will not accept messages in any format except TXT. Do not
try to post in a format such as HTML or RICH TEXT.
(B) You must post from the same address that you registered with. Don't sign up using one address, and
then try to post from a proxy address such as K2xxx@ARRL.NET. Only registered members of the list can post to it.
(c) The Blog Horn will not accept attachments.
(D) This list is Unmoderated; that means that YOU
control your subscription and postings. If you ever want to unsubscribe from the list, click on the
link at the bottom of each posting. This will take you to the subscriber page where you can modify
your subscription or totally unsubscribe.
(E) And oh yes, although anything can be discussed, try to limit
your postings to matters of ham radio, maritime communications, and lightships or lighthouses. It goes
without saying, of course, that we won't tolerate profanity, spams, or disparanging remarks about other members.
