I don't think we need to change the bylaws to eliminate the contest 
participation requirement. It simply was meant to encourage members to 
contribute to an overall club score. There are no minimum score 
requirements to meet, so anyone should be able to make a few contacts a 
couple of times a year to meet the intent of the bylaws. The key is to 
submit the entry. In the past when a larger portion of the membership 
was motivated to get involved, our club score became more competative. 
It would be nice to see a higher standing again. We will never be able 
to match the level of scoring of some of the big east coast clubs, but 
we can make a presence. Maybe there are some who are reluctant to get 
into contesting for fear they would enjoy it and become hooked, hi. I 
for one am not a top notch contestor, but every once in awhile like to 
see what I can stretch myself to accomplish. I tend to collect 
multipliers, so I like to check the results to see how many more QSOs 
others had to make to equal or better my score. So however you enjoy 
working a contest get out there and have some fun allready! Just send in 
the results a couple of times a year and your good to go.
