Just half of a Half-Master?
It must be a military thing. I remember hearing the term on rare occasions
during my four years in USAF.
Ah-ha - I found it:
noun: an army officer who provides clothing and subsistence for troops

Hi Dave. Hope all is well in Richmond.
I wasn't suggesting that the new Chapter be named the Pikes Peak Chapter. I
was just pointing out to Mike that there used to be a Chapter by that name.
I don't like the name "Quarter-Master Chapter". What is that supposed to
signify?
Happy Easter.
73,
Dick

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,
Dave Sloan N0EOP

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.
