Unless 10-10 has change something you will need to call it  something 
different. A few years ago I wanted to start a local chapter and they  told me 
the only way to use the same name "Pikes Peak Chapter" was to have a  record 
of the number given to every number. The group at that time said they  wanted 
the old name. I spent several months trying to run down a database.  
Located a partial in Arizona but never did find a database of all assigned  
numbers. I still have my 'place mat' (picture of Pikes Peak) with chapter number  
on it. Hope that you can come up with a good plan.
   Their is a local chapter 'Colorado Quarter-Master' and the  chapter head 
is Richard Moore KC0CMZ  and he lives in Widefield. His  email is listed on 
QRZ. I just checked and it was de-afiliated in Feb 2010. So,  I guess that 
Richard had stopped having nets and didn't make his reports. When I  lived 
there I had to call him and remind him about reports.
 
Good luck,

Count me  in Mike.  My 10X number is 23811.  I've had it since before dirt  
was here.  Hi Hi.

There used to be a 10X Chapter here in the  Springs, but, as you know, it 
no 
longer exists.  I think it was  called the Pikes Peak Chapter.

Keep me informed on the  progress.
