During the last days QSL.net domain has been down. Ham radio community have been missing a large part of it’s web presence, and a valuable part of knowledge.
QSL.NET was started in the winter of 1996 by K3TKJ, and host thousands of ham radio related web sites, email redirection services and mailing lists, for free.
At the time while writing QSL.net is recovering, but I’ve not been able to find any public announce. Rumors, says a maintenance activity is ongoing, someone else reports a server outage.
This downtime should let us think about importance of QSL.net service. I would suggest all those who are using K3TKJ services to donate, or move their web sites somewhere else.
Our knowledge is too important to to be compromised by a single point of failure
