[WARC] Interesting Numbers

[Dick Lindner]

I respond to Len's comments and second his comment on meetings.  There 
also needs to be variety in the meetings - some historical, some "show 
and tell" for newcomers, and some programs that perhaps have nothing to 
do with ham radio - the weather center visit was certainly a good step.

The "old days" also had hamshack visits.  It would be unwieldy to have 
all of the meeting attendees show up at someone's house at the same 
time.  But perhaps, if there were 3 or 4 people willing to open their 
shacks, and someone willing to coordinate the "round robin" on the 
meeting night by clock time, then the groups could be small enough and 
everyone could visit all 3 or 4 shacks.  What a kick that would be!

I have hopes for new hams to attend Field Day.  Perhaps if we had a list 
of names and telephone numbers, some members of the club could make a 
personal call to remind/invite the new hams to Field Day.

HF and VHF contests used to be run by those interested with a couple of 
other hams showing up at a designated "contest station".  WB0HAD and 
WB0PRK and I think N0BUI and myself did this a few times and had a good 
time.  I'm not sure we ever sent in the contest results, but the whole 
thing was a good time.

Finally, some more emphasis on HF would be nice.  But, hey, I'm just an 
old guy - and a crab no less.
