Email Networks...                   


The 281st AHC Association has established two e-mail networks that are serviced through list-servers provided by Yahoo.  These "Networks" allow members to post messages to everyone by addressing their message to the net rather than 50-100 separate email address.  The two nets were developed to allow Official communications on the 281AHC-HQ Net and to use the 281AHC-CHAT Net for just normal chit chat and banter between the members.  The CHAT Net will have a fairly large volume of traffic on a daily basis, the HQ Net will have less traffic.  We ask that you restrict the usage of the HQ Net to information that is pertinent to all members of the Association, i.e., no forwarded jokes, etc.  The CHAT Net is about like some of the VHF frequencies we used in Vietnam or maybe like the conversations that went on in the Hangar or Clubs while drinking your favorite beverage.  Anything goes, send pictures and tell war stories or just BS.

To subscribe to the HQ Net simply address an email message to:

 HQ_281AHC-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

To subscribe to the CHAT Net simply address an email message to:

Chat_281AHC-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

There is no need to put anything in the body or subject line of the email message, just click on one of the above links and your message will be addressed and sent to the proper recipient.  You will receive a reply from Brent Gourley asking you to indentify yourself so that we can assure that you were a former member of the 281st AHC or associated units.
