[Qcwa] Another Sell-out

[Larry WA9VRH]

Hi All, Before we beat the day lights out of the QCWA please remember they
are just trying to raise money. This particular way was not a good one and
we should encourage the BoD to at least ask for comments on the next "Idea".
It could save a lot of grief. HOWEVER this does not mean we should all run
away screaming screw the QCWA. Everyone is entitled to a screw up or two.
Don't abandon the QCWA because of this especially since your voice's were
heard.
I have had some really bonehead ideas myself and I bet I am not the only one
on here that has been in that position! Thanks to the QCWA BoD for listening
to the members! 73 Larry WA9VRH
