[OKDXA] QSO Party

[William B. Stacy]

Hi, Coy and Everybody:

When I was in Wyoming, we had a QSO Roundup.  The title evoked the cowboy
image and all that.  Trying to stimulate some participation by Wyoming
stations was essentially hopeless.  In that latter regard, the Oklahoma
event is much better.  :-)

What about using the Centennial logo on QSL cards?  I would assume that the
Centennial Commission would be happy that we want to do that.  Also, how do
we go about getting a copy (jpeg or whatever)?

73,
Bill, N5TU

Gentlemen and Jerry,

I just talked with the folks at the Centennial Commission.  They didn't
want us to have a party since it might signal the Native American Tribes
that we are celebrating at their expense.  They also didn't know how to
deal with QSO and weren't sure what the translation was.  They also wanted
to mention amateur radio and centennial in the title of the event.  So now
we are going to be listed as the Oklahoma Amateur Radio Centennial Event. 
I love being politically correct!  :-(

The good news is that I'm pretty sure we are going to be approved and our
event recognized.

Coy
