Nope, didn't work, I saw it here in Canada :-) So it gets added as follows ...

>Any one tell me how I get added to the hams on usenet file?
Well, Marc and others, software that monitors activity in select groups on the
news system will typically find a new net personality. If an address in the
From: or Reply-To: header line is not in the database, or is more than a year
old, then the hams-on-usenet mail address receives notification to update, or
add the entry. ALL entries are kept, but there is a mechanism to hide entries
from the regular postings (only ONE person so far is completely hidden).

Personal updates, additions, spelling corrections (rare :-) and complaints to
hams-on-usenet@ve6mgs.ampr.ab.ca.

The ratio appears to be settling in at 10% of the updates from email and the
rest from news groups and mailing lists. There have been individuals that
have sent en-masse updates as well.

Next posting of the list on January 28th.
