[PVRCNC] Re: [PVRC] Preliminary Analysis of CW SS Scores Data for Clubs

[Jim Jordan K4QPL]

I think the important measure of a CONTESTING club is the % of members who
participate and submit logs in the year's premier status contest.  At a
rough estimate of about 20% for PVRC, maybe we should change our name to the
"Potomac Valley Internet Ragchewing and Social Club."

See you in SS 2005!

73,

Jim, K4QPL
