[QCWA] QCWA Journal in PDF for international members

[Bob Roske]

Hi Frank,

> Germany - with 123 members the second largest international QCWA chapter

Chapter 106 in Germany is the largest DX Chapter, the 242 Canadian members 
are spread across 3 active chapters and probably still include members from 
the three inactive chapters as well.

  Chapter     4 - Northwest - BC   ID   OR   and   WA - inactive
  Chapter   70 - National Capital Area of Canada - Ottawa,  ON
  Chapter   73 - Fred Hammond - Toronto,  ON
  Chapter   98 - Dogwood - Vancouver,  BC - inactive
  Chapter 139 - Laurentian - Montreal,  QC - inactive
  Chapter 151 - Wild Rose - Calgary,  AB

No maybe about it, the Chapter 106 secretary receives a copy of the Journal 
so they can extract the articles of interest to their members and to publish 
it in any language the chapter wishes to use.  If that's not being done, 
maybe your secretary or newsletter editor or webmaster needs some help.

All chapter presidents and secretaries that provide an email id on the 
Annual Chapter Report are subscribed to the closed QCWA Hotlist Reflector 
that was setup to be used to exchange ideas between chapters, when meetings 
are, what programs have been presented or anything else that is pertinent to 
running a QCWA chapter.  The QCWA Board of Directors is subscribed as well 
as the members of the Chapter Relations Committee.  I used it to distribute 
information on the QCWA Forum that's happening at the Dayton Hamvention this 
year.

This reflector was established to help members keep in touch.  There are 
only 299 subscribed out of all our members and it's obvious not all of the 
440+ DX members are subscribed either.

As you can see, QCWA has multiple ways established to keep in touch with 
members.  All the members have to do is use them.
