[QCWA] QCWA and OOTC

[Don Tucker]

I see an ad in the QCWA Journal (Winter 2012) for an Old Old Timers Club?  I 
am not familiar with it. Are they a QCWA spinoff? I see their criteria is 40 
years in wireless communications, period. While different than the amateur 
radio requirement of QCWA, it seems the two have a common goal. Why not 
discuss a merge and become one strong organization?

While this may not serve the purists, it would seem a broadening of the 
member base would be in the interests of all.  I know several hams who may 
only have been licensed a short few years, but have been involved in 
wireless communications for more than 40 years, sharp hams and sharp 
technically in wireless communications.

Just a thought as I read all the discussions about how to bolster membership 
(not just QCWA but a lot of similar organizations today).
