[HCARC] New ARRL Contest

[Gary J - N5BAA]

Not sure if it will be W1AW operating or just others.  Either way it seems 
like a good idea keeping interest up.  The more active the membership and 
ARRL is the better.  That ARRL membership is going up is not much of a 
surprise - everything else is going up likewise.  Only the Guberment will 
tell you there is no inflation - but then inflation doesn't measure food, 
lodging , nor fuel cost.  Like there is much else.  What we are doing to the 
US Dollar (devaluing it to cover National Debt) assures that prices will 
rise - remember Germany after WWI.

OK, I can see it now.  W1AW/5-BB at Big Bend, W1AW/7-YE at Yellowstone,
W1AW/6-YS at Yosemite.  I can hardly wait.  With ARRL membership going
up to $49 there is no telling how much the certificates and plaques will
cost.
