The site this one replaces looked current. It was not: it advertised a repeater on a tower the machine had left, a controller that had been voted out, a net on a machine reported inoperative, and an autopatch dead since 2015. Nothing on it was a lie. It had simply stopped being checked, and nothing on the page said so.
Every fact carries a grade
- Measured — somebody checked this directly and wrote down when.
- Sourced — it comes from a document in the Society’s own archive, and the record names the file.
- Unverified — it is the last thing written down, and nobody has confirmed it since. Most of the radio infrastructure on this site sits here.
A grade is not a disclaimer. It is a work list: everything marked unverified is something one member with a radio and ten minutes could turn into a measured fact.
Some things are computed, so they cannot rot
- The next meeting is derived from the constitution’s rule — second Friday, 6:30 P.M. — and shows the rule alongside the date.
- The dateline counts days since the newest document in the archive and turns red past 120 days. It sits on the front page where it cannot be missed.
- The archive counts come from the archive itself.
Nothing that can be derived is typed in twice. Two copies of a fact are two chances for it to disagree with itself — which is exactly how the old site came to print the net at 8 P.M. in one place and 9 P.M. in another for years.
Where everything came from
Everything here was carried over from two places: ks0man.com as it stood on 11 September 2026, copied page by page and file by file, and the folder of files the webmaster built that site from, supplied on 16 October 2026. Every file from both is on this site. The record is published in full, as the Society decided: the rosters, the member lists, officers’ contact details as the old pages printed them, the storm-spotter observer posts and the Silent Key memorials.
What is not here is what the Society never had. What we know is missing lists it.
If you find something wrong
Say so on the reflector or at a meeting. A correction is more useful than a compliment, and an out-of-date page somebody has flagged is in better shape than one nobody has read.
