Jeff,
I hope that you know that ARRL Field Day is the main league event of the year and more club members participate in it is better, for many reasons. FD activities start Friday and end on Sunday, for many people. With meeting being following Monday it's too much. To understand about K0GQ location you should of read e-mail to the end were RARC original invitation is.
In general-Jeff as usual...firework of words and excitement, but when it comes to do something little for the Club (treasurer) you are not there. I'm most likely busier than you are with work and still do plenty of stuff for the club. BTW-Rob was member of the club for few month of the last 15 years I'm with KCDXC-don't blame me for his character. Had issues with other clubs and reflectors just recently as well.
You have been with a club for about a year yourself and you really did not see club growing and improving in any way? Strange.
About W0DXCC-I stated my position clearly more than once-multiple W0 clubs and investors must be involved in order for this event to be successful. Anyways-you was busy for the club-will you find some time for the W0DXCC?
Alex
