QRQ posting error

[joe living]

Sorry for the error. The  general website for QRQ is:
 
http://qrqcwnet.ning.com/
 
and the iCW website is:
 
http://groups.google.com/group/i_cw?hl=en

Your two urls seem to be the same.  What's the QRQ general web site?

Chuck, AA0HW, has set up two websites you all might find interesting:
