MARITIMES SCANNING SITE

FAQ #5

Question: “I sent you some updates back a while and they still aren’t up on the site” OR “Why isn’t the Maritimes Scanning Site kept more up to date?”

Answer: I think this is the dilemma that comes with all hobby websites. A hobby or casual webmaster does what he or she does as a labour of love or enjoyment, and often it must be juggled with all the other things going on in life. I certainly have other things happening. In addition I have a problem that perhaps you do not have. I find that my interests go up and down and there is a tendency for me to start things but not finish them. If you were to check out some of my auxiliary pages on radio history you will find that some of them started long ago are obviously not finished! There are also a few more central types of pages that I should haved finished or overhauled long ago but haven’t. All I can do is apologize and hope you keep coming back. I realize also that some of my pages are rather idiosyncratic, but I also hope that there are at least one or two of you out there find even the ones off the beaten path to be interesting. Oh, and if you are someone who sent me something and I didn’t post it yet, please remind me. I will appreciate you doing so!

The other problem that I run into quite often is technical. For some reason a new or revised page will not load to the site. I am not an expert and must do it by trial and error when there is a problem.

I have maintained the Maritimes Scanning Site since approximately 2000 and I keep going on the certain knowledge that there are people out there accessing it and finding it useful or interesting, despite the availability of other great sites near and far.
