SAGE ADVICE FROM DOUGLAS ADAMS: DON'T PANIC!
I say 'Formerly' only because, since the beginning of
2013, business volume has dropped off to the point where it's no longer
viable for me to run Blue Feather as an 'official' business (as in
regular hours, merchant credit card account, formal advertising, etc.)
As of Apr-22, I've also decided to drop our PO box (the Post Awful was
getting greedy with the fees).
HOWEVER -- I'm still here, and I'm still happy to
help out if you need support, repair or modifications for 'legacy'
radio hardware, mil spec connectors, and general electronic tomfoolery.
POSSIBLE CONFLICTING DOMAINS: As of 18-Mar-24, I received word that some Chinese company has, or will be, registering China-based versions of my domain names, as in bluefeathertech dot cn, bluefeathertech dot com dot cn, etc. I want to make it absolutely clear that these domains have NO CONNECTION WHATSOEVER to me, and I did NOT give my approval to register them (I asked, nicely, for the registrant to pick a different name, and they refused).
So... If anyone at those domains tries to tell you they're related to me, or acting on my behalf, they're lying. Period. Be aware of what's at the end of your URL's!
Microsoft's Outlook.com (spam) mail service... Blocked at our end.
Due to a seemingly never-ending flood of phishing and other spam from MS's much-hyped 'outlook.com' mail service, and Microsoft's apparent self-delusion that no such trash could possibly come from their servers (and their subsequent refusal to take any countermeasures whatsoever), I've found it necessary to configure our mail system to refuse all traffic from the 'outlook.com' domain. If you're trying to reach me from any address ending in 'outlook.com,' it will bounce.
The only available workaround at this time is to try sending your message from a different web mail service (Gmail works just fine).
