-	~~WUN: An Electronic Club For~~ Utility ~~Signals under 30 MHz~~	+	Worldwide Utility News is shutting down 4/15
		+	From the WUN president, Ary Boender...
		+	================================================== ==

-	~~With several losses of information available to utility listeners~~, ~~efforts went into creating~~ a ~~continuing source of~~ utility ~~information~~, ~~QSL's~~ and ~~logs~~.	+	In January 1995, we formed a new, internet based, utility listeners
		+	club; WUN (Worldwide Utility News club). This was not just another
		+	internet list but a real club. Since the beginning we have counted
		+	on a great many people to provide the newsletter, website and maintain
		+	the mailing list and perform other club duties behind the scenes.
		+	Basically, the same people have been involved since we started.

-	~~After discussions with many utility fans via e-mail The WORLDWIDE UTILITY NEWS Club~~..~~.or WUN (Like we're #1), was born January~~ of ~~1995 with it's first newsletter sent~~ to ~~members~~ as the ~~February edition~~.	+	We have recently received the resignation of Jason Berri as webmaster
		+	and Day Watson as editor of the popular Digital Review column. They
		+	are not the only ones. Lack of time and other responsibilities force
		+	me to step down myself. This means that also the Utility Round-up
		+	column need a new editor. We know from personal experience that finding
		+	new editors is a very difficult task, especially for a very specialized
		+	column as the DR.

-	~~The WUN is the worlds first electronic club and there~~ are ~~no dues or fees from us for joining. You are welcome~~ and ~~encouraged~~ to ~~join in the conversation regarding the "non-broadcast" or utility stations that may be found~~ in any ~~mode under 30 MHz~~. WUN ~~also publishes~~ a ~~monthly electronic newsletter~~.	+	There are many duties and much time is needed to run WUN as a club. Our
		+	staff is not in a position to donate any further time than what we do
		+	already. Therefore, we believe that WUN as a club should cease to exist.
		+	We do not have the staff to keep going. We have certainly appreciated
		+	the input and assistance of many longtime members. However, the work
		+	involved simply is too much.

-	~~To become a member of WUN, you join the WUN listserver by using the web interface located at:~~	+	UTILITY DXers FORUM

-	~~http://mailman~~.~~qth~~.~~net/mailman/listinfo/wun~~	+	As a replacement, I have started a Yahoo list that is easy and simple to
		+	maintain, called Utility DXers Forum. This will eliminate the need
		+	for website support and many of the other duties required of an actual
		+	non-profit club. UDXF will not be affiliated with WUN. UDXF will focus
		+	on the same sort of stations as WUN did, so why not join the list and
		+	keep ute dxing alive! (the link is in the title above. The group will be activated on the 15th mja)

-	~~The wun listserver is also used for posting hot Utility news and general discussion of UTE-related topics. Those subscribed on~~ WUN will ~~receive the newsletter and~~ be ~~able~~ to ~~exchange info, logs, and late breaking "hot" logs with everyone on the list~~.	+	Effective April 15, 2006 the WUN list will be terminated. Members are
		+	encouraged to join UDXF.

-	~~The WUN monthly newsletter consists of the following columns:~~	+	- NUMBERS & ODDITIES

-	~~1. International Civil Aero~~	+	As you know, I edited two columns for the WUN newsletter: the "Utility
-	2. ~~Nautical News~~	+	Round-up" column and "Numbers & Oddities". The latter also appeared as
-	3. ~~Digital Review~~	+	a separate newsletter for members of the Spooks list and other dxers who
-	4. ~~Logs Column~~	+	are interested in numbers stations. N&O included info that was sent to
-	5. The ~~QSL Report~~	+	the WUN and Spooks mailing lists and info sent directly to me. Please,
-	~~6. Utility Round-up~~	+	note that N&O a.k.a. "The Spooks Newsletter" and the N&O website will
-	7. Numbers and ~~Oddities~~	+	continue. Numbers stations logs posted to the UDXF and Spooks mailing
-	8. ~~Product Review~~	+	lists will be included in N&O's future editions.

-	~~If you wish to contribute news, info, and logs to these columns please send them directly to the proper editor.~~

-	~~Once you have become a member~~ of WUN, you ~~can start contributing by sending e-mail~~ to~~: wun@mailman.qth~~.~~net~~	+	On behalf of WUN's staff end editors, I thank you for your support in
		+	the past 10 years and I hope to read your logs on the Utility DXers
		+	Forum.
