[WARC] WARC DEV COMMITTEE -- Meeting Focus Topic

[Len Litvan]

Hi Les,

I agree that if we can get the existing membership up that the 
additional funds will come along.  I also agree that it is not up to the 
developmental committee to o it all--more to identify action items and 
set priority/sequence/responsibility.

The idea of a guest night--with a strong program to support it--sounds 
good to me.

No problem on setting some standard Subject lines--if I can remember 
them.....  On the two other lists in which I participate (IC-703 & 
SKCC), we just take the Subject lines as they are established by the 
initiator.  Seems to work OK.

The SKCC list (Straight Key Century Club) is VERY active--15 to 30 
messages a day (or more) depending on whether a "club" event is in 
progress (e.g., sprint, higher-speed night, etc.).  The latest really 
active thread has to do with the fact(?) that ARRL has shifted direction 
on the mode/bandwidth regulation question and is suddenly supporting a 
direction which may threaten CW even more in the future.  Very active 
the past day....

73,
Len KC0RSX
