	Georgia" Hamfest
Message-ID: <4FA9216A.1050908@flham.net>


I would like to invite everyone to attend the "Heart of
Georgia" hamfest in Byron GA this coming Saturday, May 12.

I will be presenting an 80 year certificate to Harvey Chase,
W4TG.  Unfortunately, this presentation will be done
posthumously.  Even when Harvey was in the hospital, he
was aware of the presentation.  We told him that if we
could not do it in time, we would make the presentation
as a memorial to him.  And that is what we will be doing.
My understanding is that this will be done at a special
time in front of the entire hamfest.  Harvey was a very
well respected ham and it will be a fitting tribute to him.

If you are in the area, please try to attend.  More details
about the hamfest can be found at
http://www.heartofgeorgiahamfest.com/

Of course we will also have our normal QCWA table, and I
invite you to stop by, sign in, and say hello.

Thanks.

John, et all...

I wasn't asking anyone to check their chapter members, but it's a good idea 
that will shortly be much easier to do.   I was and am asking the Chapter 
Officers to insure they are current for the reason's John just covered.

The list on the web site is almost a year old, but at the moment it's all we 
have to go by.  If you have paid your dues since 1 July, 2011, thank you.

I will shortly be launching a Chapter Officer's area on the website where WE 
will be able to do a whole lot more than we ever have before.  I've very 
excited about all the things that will be possible and I look forwarding to 
you using the area as much as I've enjoyed  putting it together.  I also 
look forward to the suggestions that will come after you start to use it 
that will make it better for everyone.

I say WE, because I'm also Secretary at Chapter 8 in Minnesota.

(Announced by DARA)


From: Steve Gecewicz

Important trivia information released by the Dayton Hamfest

*       In 1964 the Hamvention moved to Hara Arena, its present location.
**     In 1973, Hamvention expanded into a two-day event, and Sunday was 
added to make it a three-day event the following year (1974).
***   Hamvention officials agree that 30,000 visitors is critical mass given 
the current facilities at Hara.  Anything over 28,000 pushes it at Hara says 
Matthews. ?It
        pushes our restroom facilities, it pushes our food concessions, it 
pushes our transportation, and it pushes our human comfort factor, which is 
important.?
****  Putting on Hamvention costs in excess of $700,000 each year.

This is what the Members' Only webpage looks like(almost),  I lost some formatting in the drag n drop to this email.  None of the form buttons made it but there aren't that many of them and they are easy to figure out.

If a member isn't affiliated with a chapter, the officers aren't listed and they are told how close to qualifying for the 3 awards they are and they can request them from the GM.

I hope this survives the reflector!

Subject: [QCWA Hotlist] Chapter Officers' web area
Message-ID: <D19AF3B17C6E4BEE8257F126ACB7B16E@BobsWeb>

This is the Chapter Officers' area, the Pres and Sec are listed if they we're on the Annual Chapter Report. (dups were removed, same person listed as Pres & Sec)
On this page you can allow one more member to view the area.  Ch 8 will allow our treasurer, he maintains the membership list and he'll love getting weekly updates.

Yes, I'll be getting a file from HQ every weekend with the latest active members.

All the members that are assigned to your chapter at HQ will be shown.  This may or may not match your list but it's a place to start.  Our GM will be sending each of the Secretaries a spread sheet looking for the missing information so don't bother to correct it anywhere but the SS for now.

Most of the columns in the members table are pretty easy to understand, the 2 that are not, Golden, it tells John has been licensed for 51 years and Ralph for 33, CC tell John's age + years of QCWA membership = 91, 9 short of the 100 needed to qualify.  Caveat: this only uses the years, including months and days on your spreadsheet will give a more accurate picture of when your members really qualify.  This table is sort able, click on any of the headers and it sorts that row, ascending or descending.   (Show | Hide)  do just that.

The rest is captured directly from the web page when this screen is rendered.  This should make keeping up with this site much easier.

This should go live with in 48 hours.

ATTN: Janice, K4IJK, I still haven't figured out how I'm going to allow you view Ch 112 as the Secretary and Ch #120 as the President, but I will!

Message-ID: <4FE0ADC8.8010804@verizon.net>

Good Morning Chapter Secretaries, or other Chapter Officers with 
responsibility for Chapter Reports for the Journal.  This message comes 
to you as a gentle reminder that the Second Quarter of 2012 is rapidly 
coming to a close, and that a Chapter Report to the Journal is due at 
QCWA HQ by July 1, 2012.

Your Chapter Report is important to QCWA, as members all around the 
country and the world look at these reports to keep up with what's 
happening in the local QCWA Chapters.  Information such as recruiting 
success, members gained/renewals, Chapter meeting programs, Chapter 
Outings, achievements by your Chapter members, etc., -- all this, and 
more, are items of interest to other QCWA members.  Your discussion of a 
special project can inspire another Chapter to take up an activity and 
thereby build enthusiasm for the Chapter, and will  contribute to a 
sense of togetherness in something Good and Important - something 
distinctly QCWA in nature.

These Quarterly Chapter Reports to the Journal are typically the 
responsibility of Chapter Secretaries, but any Chapter Officer with the 
ability to string words into a short report is welcome to submit the 
report, given the approval to do so by the Chapter President.

Your Chapter Report to the Journal should be short!  Our editorial 
policy asks for a 500 word summary of your activities, and permits the 
submission of two photographs (with captions, please) related to those 
activities.  Submission should be mailed to: *Quarter Century Wireless 
Association, Inc., General Manager - Jim LaPorta, N1CC, PO Box 2088, 
Malakoff, TX 75148-2088 USA*

Please make note of the regular submission dates for Chapter Reports for 
the Journal:  January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1.  We are looking 
forward to reading about your Chapter in the QCWA Journal.  Take pride 
in QCWA and in your Chapter and don't let your Chapter be left out of 
our QCWA Journal.  Thanks for your help in making QCWA strong.  73,  
Vic, W4VIC, Secretary, QCWA Inc.

OK, OK, open mouth, insert foot!  hi hi

I need to clarify the best way for Chapter officers to submit the highly 
prized Chapter Reports for the Journal.

The preferred route for sending Chapter Reports for the Journal is via 
e-mail, either as a direct e-mail, or from a word processing program as 
an attachment.  A by far less desirable route is via FAX, and the least 
desirable route is via regular USPS mail.

E-Mail -- QCWA - GM Jim LaPorta, N1CC  -- N1CC at qcwa-hq.com

Journal Editor K1AMP - Amber Pelletier -- amber.m.gay at gmail.com

ONLY if necessary, send FAX to:  QCWA GM Jim LaPorta, N1CC --FAX: 
800-219-8048

AND, as a last resort, use the previously suggested direct mail address.

I apologize for the confusions on this.  Next time I'll think longer 
before sending out information.  73,  Vic, W4VIC, QCWA Inc. Secretary.

can't send them via attached file on E-mail? If this is not right what
E-mail address should we use?
Thank you very much for letting us know how you want this information.
