[CW] Morse, money and a bad buro

[uranito]

Hello dear...

Not in Argentina.

We are growing every day. There are new CW training transmition in HF and
VHF and we find newcomers very interested in Morse every day.

But SSB and FM are dwindling dramatically...!!! - AM is more or less stable.
QRP is growing a little.

40 m is always empty, only a few hams working SSB.

Most of our Radio Club in LU land are near crash because they can�t afford
the cost of building they have and the public services with only 30/40 hams
that pay.

Our buro is open but in like nothing, they collect our money but didn�t
never send the 70 % of QSL out and there are some movements to create a new
one out of the RCA. We know that in CE the buro is working very bad, same in
other undeveloped countries of the region.

Hamfest are only used to increase the club income to pay his bill and it
become a "maffia" with a representative who decide where and when the club
can qualify for his hamfest.

Everything is very sad but GACW still working every day, we have more Morse
teachers in clubs, but we know that the "GACW spring" is not the solution.

Since the program "Amateur Radio a safe way for our children",  we faced
that it is very difficul to collect young people because the "modern"
things, but we are talking with teachers in every technical high school.

We don�t want to call youngs from general schools becaue we belive that
those coming from technical side will be better hams and will stay with us
more time.

Muchos saludos
