[NSRCA-discussion] Hardcopy K-Factor

[Ron Hansen]

What are the benefits of being a NSRCA member?

 

You don't need to be a member to participate in contests?

 

I originally joined to get the Buyers Guide and the K-Factor.

 

I didn't start competing for several years after that.

 

Couple of ideas I have is to go to quarterly newsletters and change our
model for advertisers.  Perhaps each issue has coupons rather than just
advertisements.  This would give companies feedback on how many people read
and buy products advertised in the K-Factor and our website.

Wow: I spent many years sitting in a desk chair in front of a PC. I'm happy
with reading the K-Factor on my monitor.
Paramount to my continuing is the notice Scott sends every month telling me
it's ready for download. I save them in a folder and leave them open until
I'm finished reading them, sometimes as long as 10 days.
I wouldn't like to see a dues increase to cover hard copy cost for those
that still want it and agree that a free copy may reduce membership.
I'm here for the long run regardless of what is decided.

As far as list server support, I'm more than happy to accommodate whatever
the community and BoD decides to do.  A minor point of clarification, the
current NSRCA list configuration does allow attachments, but is size limited
to 500 KB per message per community request.  Note that the request dates
from when dialup was still common and people didn't want to wait 10 minutes
to download a single message.

That limit is easily configurable and I would have no issue bumping it up to
allow low resolution .pdf distribution of the K Factor either on the
existing -discussion list or on a dedicated list for K Factor distribution.
