[ARC5] Re: [Milsurplus] One Way to Keep Our Hobby Alive

[David Stinson]

It certainly wouldn' t hurt us to invest in a seperate, radio-related 
competition among Mil-vehicle people; say, a "cup" or cool looking
trophy for "Best Comm Entry" at a major show or three.
A set of three *quality* trophies (no Wal-Mart or hobby shop crap)
and a few ribbons for each catagory (say, Armor, Mech and
Aircraft to start) is cheap when you spread the costs over
many people, and an investment 
that would create enthusiasm in the MV people
and cement a good relationship with them.  
I'd invest my own money in that idea in a heartbeat.

Robert:  You've been going to these shows a long time.
Is a seperate competition like the one I've proposed 
possible, especially since we Mil-Radio people 
would be footing the bills?
