[QCWA] What is QCWA?

[Don Shelton]

I think we need to ask the question:

 

Is QCWA a social club?

or

Is QCWA a mentoring/technical organization?

 

If it is a social club, then membership should require the full 25 years and
there are no associates.

If it is a mentoring/technical organization, then we should allow associates
with appropriate privileges. (i.e. no voting)

 

Unfortunately I think QCWA tends to be a social club.   I believe it needs
to be both.  Membership can range in age from the 30's (when I could have
joined) to a guy in Alabama who checks into the Ch 41 net every Sunday who
is 100 years old!  

 

Right now I have been licensed continuously for 49 years.  I would like to
go to a club meeting where I hear everything from "Spark Gap Sea Stories" to
being updated on the latest technology trends.

 

 

As for voting, I did not vote.  When I saw how long I had until the ballot
had to be returned, I thought I would do some research before voting.  The
ballot got buried on the desk and the deadline passed.
