[CW] SKCC Membership Nears 10,000

[Rick Dettinger]

10,000 members here and 10,000 there, and pretty soon, you are talking about some real numbers!   My apologies to to the late Senator Everett Dirksen for that paraphrase.
When SKCC was just getting a good start, and the numbers were growing nicely, I joked on a post that we would soon pass up FISTS.  Since their numbers were already over 10,000 when SKCC started, I didn’t think there was actually any chance of that.  Well, we are a little ahead in the race to 20,000 members.

73,
