501F Users Group is Live

Welcome 501F Users Group

Yesterday we officially welcomed 501F Users Group, Inc to the Apt Crowd family. The first user registrations came within minutes of the announcement email and we ended the day with record first-day numbers. The success of this launch was a result of the dedication and collaboration with the group’s board of directors. We were able to provide a smooth transition by importing the group’s post history from their previous hosting provider.

This group is a private community of individuals who construct, operate, or maintain Siemens, Westinghouse, and Mitsubishi 501F, 701F, and SGT6-5000F gas turbines. Individuals who meet membership qualifications can apply for access to the forum at https://forum.501fusers.org
