Subject: [QCWA Hotlist] Reminders
Message-ID: <50E590ED.90902@qcwa.org>


Several reminders:

First, if you have not already sent in your chapter report that will 
go into the February eJournal, please do so ASAP.  E-mail the report 
to Editor at qcwa.org with a copy to ExecAdmin at qcwa.org.  It is best to 
separate text from pictures, and send each as a separate attachment, 
in one e-mail.

Second, if you have not sent in your annual report, please do it soon. 
  You can do this by going to your member web page.  Find the "Chapter 
section" which is outlined in a yellow/amber color.  Beneath the list 
of officers is a box to click to submit your report.

While you are at the chapter section, please scroll down to the list 
of your members.  Please pay special attention to the column at the 
very right.  It says yes or no, which means we either do, or do not, 
have an e-mail address for that member.  If you find a red "no", 
please try to obtain an e-mail address for that member, and either 
have him send it to us, or send it yourself.  Send to ExecAdmin at qcwa.org.

Other information to pass on to you --
We have now ended 2012.  You might be wondering how the QCWA financial 
situation looks.  It is much better than we anticipated, largely due 
to major efforts from a lot of people.  We expected that we might need 
to take $7K to $8K from the contingency fund in December in order to 
have enough cash flow to pay all of our 2012 bills.  I am happy to 
report that is not the case.  It is much better than that!  About 
Christmas time, it looked like we would not need to take anything from 
the contingency fund, and looked like we might have about $1K left in 
the checking accounts.  I am pleased to report that even that was 
wrong.  We actually ended 2012 with about $2K in the checking 
accounts.  To put it another way, we are turning the QCWA financial 
ship around.  It is already turned around.  Now it just needs to pick 
up steam.

By this time, most of you should have received the paper Jorunal.  If 
you have not, you should soon.  Delivery time seems to vary 
considerably, largely depending on the local postal delivery 
situation.  If you have not received yours in another week or so, 
please let me know.

Of course if you have any questions or concerns at any time, please 
let me know.  E-mail to ExecAdmin at qcwa.org is best, or phone at (352) 
425-1097.

Thanks, 73,

I know I sent out a reminder about a week ago, and many of you have 
responded and we have all of the information that we need.  Some of 
you have not, so this is directed to those people.

The first official eJournal should be out very soon.  Watch your 
member web page, and the qcwa.org home page for the announcement.

If you have not already sent in your chapter report for the February 
eJournal, please do so ASAP.  E-mail the report to Editor at qcwa.org 
with a copy to ExecAdmin at qcwa.org.  It is best to separate text from 
pictures, and send each as a separate attachment, in one e-mail.

If you have not sent in your annual report, please do it soon.  You 
can do this by going to your member web page.  Find the "Chapter 
section" which is outlined in a yellow/amber color.  Beneath the list 
of officers is a box to click to submit your report.  Please note that 
if we do not get an annual report from your chapter, we assume it is 
no longer active.  Your report is the only way we have of knowing.

If you have changes in your chapter officers, please e-mail that info 
to me at ExecAdmin at qcwa.org.

With the e-Journal, it is very critical that we get e-mail addresses 
for as many members as possible. While you are at the chapter section, 
please scroll down to the list of your members.  Please pay special 
attention to the column at the very right.  It says yes or no, which 
means we either do, or do not, have an e-mail address for that member. 
  If you find a red "no", please try to obtain an e-mail address for 
that member, and either have him send it to us, or send it yourself. 
Send to ExecAdmin at qcwa.org.  Some of you have done a very good job at 
this, but we can't quit until we have 100%.

Of course if you have any questions or concerns at any time, please 
let me know.  E-mail to ExecAdmin at qcwa.org is best, or phone at (352) 
425-1097.

Hi Everybody,

I've created two JavaScript per chapter that contains a listing of your chapters officers. It will be updated daily after the morning Members DB upload and each time I change your chapter's officers.

One will display, Office, Name, Call, Email and phone number.
The other will display, Office, Name, Call and Email.
   
You can decide as a Chapter which one you want to be use.

You can view it at www.qcwa.org/chapter008.htm (w/phone #) and www.qcwa.org/chapter031.htm (w/o phone #)

For those webmasters that maintain their own site, you can add this line to your html file to include this listing.

<script type="text/JavaScript" language="JavaScript" src="http://www.qcwa.org/js/officers/chapterXXX.js"></script>
<script type="text/JavaScript" language="JavaScript" src="http://www.qcwa.org/js/officers/chapterXXX.ph.js"></script>
Substitute your chapter number for XXX, zero fill left.  The one ending in  .ph.js includes the phone numbers if it's available in the database.

The way email is displayed, it's impossible for anyone to automatically harvest your email address.

Telephone numbers are included (for those already in the database).

If I maintain your webpage I'll start using the file w/o the telephone numbers.  Let me know if you want to use the one that includes them.

Bob Roske, N?UF

I would rather not have my email on a public site.   The most common way spam emailers have in getting an email address is to scan all sites for email 
addresses.  I get enough spam as it is.   Please have take off email for any public websites.

Howard and Mark,

Yes, I know all about how email addresses can be harvested by scanning the 
html code, the email address is not part of the html code.

All that is in the html code is the single line:  <script 
type="text/JavaScript" language="JavaScript" 
src="http://www.qcwa.org/js/officers/chapterXXX.js"></script>

There is no way to figure out what your email address is from this.

>> The way email is displayed, it's impossible for anyone to automatically 
>> harvest your email address.
The method I've used since 1996 prevents getting the address by scanning and 
at the same time provides a usable link to send you email.

Changing the @ to 'at' doesn't work at all, it still has all of the pieces 
of your email address in the html code.

73,
Bob N0UF

Hi All



I received a birthday greeting from QCWA today.  If you are not receiving these birthday greetings, you need to make sure that the QCWA has your birthday.  You can log into the member section of the www.qcwa.org<http://www.qcwa.org> website and check to see what birthdate the QCWA has for you.  If the birthdate is missing or incorrect, please send an email to Ken, ExecAdmin at qcwa.org<mailto:ExecAdmin at qcwa.org>, our Executive Administrator and he will correct it.

Message-ID: <5102D1B3.3030407@qcwa.org>


Just a couple of reminders ---

If you have not sent your annual report in to headquarters, it is time 
to do so.  Actually, it is past time!  To do this, simply go to your 
member page, look at the chapter section (the part outlined in 
yellow/amber), look under the box with the officers listed, and there 
is a spot to click to file the annual report.  It is very easy. 
Actually much easier than in the past! Remember, you must file an 
annual report to remain an active chapter.

As a reminder, if you have a change of officers, you can notify us any 
time that takes place.  You do not need to wait until it is time for 
the annual report.  You can do it anytime. Please send an e-mail to 
our webmaster webmaster at qcwa.org and also to myself 
ExecAdmin at qcwa.org.  Thanks.

We are still looking for e-mail addresses for members.  This is 
especially important with the new monthly color eJournal.  Some of you 
have done a terrific job.  We have about a dozen chapters with 100% of 
their members with e-mail addresses listed.  Thanks very much.  There 
are many other chapters only missing one or two, so I assume that it 
likely because those people do not have e-mail addresses.  Thanks to 
you also.  However there are some chapters that have very few e-mail 
addresses listed.  Please try to get those and send to me at 
ExecAdmin at qcwa.org.

I appreciate your help.

Hello everyone,

I want to remind you that this weekend is the large Orlando HamCation 
-- the second largest hamfest in the country. It starts on Friday, is 
really going "full tilt" on Saturday, and finishes off on Sunday.

QCWA will have a forum on Saturday.  At the present time it is 
scheduled for 10:30 AM in the Children's Safety Village, Classroom II. 
Please check the schedule at HamCation to confirm this, as it has changed.

In conjunction with this, please be aware that headquarters will be 
closed Thursday thru Monday.  I will have the phone with me, and it is 
possible that I MAY be able to receive e-mail, but I seriously doubt 
if I will have time to respond to either.  I hope the hamfest is such 
that we are too busy!

I hope to see many of you there.  Please stop by our booth in 
Commercial I, sign in, and say hello.

Message-ID: <844D8A15AE324DCFA442C23B6254E623@BobsWeb>

Hi Everybody,

Over the weekend I built everything needed to coordinate the "Chapter on the Air" locations.

A DB table was built and populated on the web server.

I've written the interface for me to use to add and delete the chapter nets as you send me the changes.  This interface creates a file for each chapter's nets whenever a change is made.

The Chapter on the Air on the web page is pulled directly from the table.

A copy will be pulled from the table once a month and forwarded to our Editor so the website and the Journal will be totally in sync for the first time ever.

And the cream de al cream.  I'll be adding a line to each chapters webpage over the next week so the changes will immediately be displayed there as well!

Like I said, totally in sync!

For those chapters that maintain your own websites, you can take advantage of this as well by including this line of code in your html program:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://www.qcwa.org/js/nets/NNN.js"></script>
Replace NNN with your chapter number  001 to 224.

This provides a table with your chapter net information or a line that says "There are no nets listed for Chapter NNN"
All you need add is a header.

You can view it this at http://www.qcwa.org/chapter008.htm

holds true.

Orlando HamCation Info --

On a very positive note, I would like to let you know how things went 
at the large Orlando HamCation this past weekend.  Our "sale" of 
memberships has been steadily increasing at HamCation, so we set a 
goal that would assume that we would increase at the same rate.  I am 
happy to report that we exceeded that goal by almost 30%.  People are 
liking what we are doing, and they are proving it with their 
pocketbooks.  At the forums, I have been saying that we need retention 
and recruitment.  We are getting both.  I am seeing people renew their 
memberships that expired in 1990!  Of course most are not that far 
back, but you get the idea.  We are also getting new members.  I am 
finding that in many cases this is because of a little extra "push" 
from the chapters.  We appreciate that very much.  Please keep it up!

Just FYI, on Friday only (which is normally a fairly slow day) we had 
almost as much income as we had for the entire hamfest two years ago. 
  Thanks for all of your help.

If the response from headquarters is a bit slower than normal, please 
keep in mind that we are working our way thru the normal items from 
being away at HamCation for four days, trying to get thru about 3000 
e-mails, plus the extra applications that we received at HamCation.  I 
expect it will take about a week to catch up.  Your patience is 
appreciated.

Hi Mike,

Your meeting information on the website  is not incorrect,  It's out of 
date!

It got that way because no one from Chapter 17 bothered to tell me it 
changed.

What is the street address of the diner?

Is this a monthly meeting?

Is it always the 3rd Saturday?

Message-ID: <511FA7B4.9050905@qcwa.org>


Hello everyone,

Would you please pass the following information on to your members?


Several of you have e-mailed HQs wondering how to renew your 
membership without using PayPal.

First, you may renew on line by using a credit card.  We process our 
credit cards thru PayPal, but you do NOT need to be a PayPal member to 
use that service.

If you prefer to send a check in the mail, here is the procedure:

You can also renew your membership by sending a check to QCWA 
headquarters.  You may fill out the renewal form at
http://www.qcwa.org/application.php?qth=USA&nr=Renew&J=D
or by simply sending your check, along with your name, call sign and 
e-mail address to

Quarter Century Wireless Association, Inc.
8400 NW 115th Avenue
Ocala, FL  34482-1098
Phone (352) 425-1097

If you know your QCWA number, please include it, but if you do not, we 
will look it up.

I should add that if you do send us a check in the mail, you save us 
about 4% in PayPal fees.

We appreciate everyone renewing, and your support for QCWA.

Subject: [QCWA Hotlist] QCWA recruitment aids
Message-ID: <512132C6.6030807@qcwa.org>


Hello everyone,

Some of you may have noticed on the regular QCWA reflector that they 
are talking about recruitment aids.

I want to be certain that you know that we have three different 
"brochures" available.  They are now on our web page at
http://www.qcwa.org/recruitment-hamfests/

The one is a single 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, one side only, about why to join 
QCWA.  It is quite effective for giving prospective members some ideas.

We also have a brochure about the scholarship fund.  This is a single 
page, printed on both sides, and then folded into a brochure.

The third is "QCWA facts" and is also a single page on both sides, 
then folded.

All of these have been updated in the last couple weeks.  If you have 
anything that is older than that, it is probably out of date.

I would suggest that everyone go to the web site and download all 
three, and then print and use them as you see fit, especially at 
hamfests, but also at your regular radio clubs.  You might even want 
to take some to your chapter meeting and show your members.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Message-ID: <51237630.3000103@qcwa.org>


Hello everyone,

An updated power point presentation is now on the QCWA webpage.  This 
is the power point presentation that I used at Orlando HamCation and 
is really an update of the one that I had back in October. This one is 
accurate at the present time, and is suitable for use at hamfest 
forums and chapter meetings -- places where QCWA members will be 
viewing it.  It is NOT suitable for general ham meetings.  We have 
another for that purpose.  You can find these presentations at
http://www.qcwa.org/members/media/

Along the same line, some of you have asked what headquarters looks 
like.  We now have a HQ tour on the web at
http://qcwa.org/hq-tour.htm

On another subject entirely, we are attempting to find out if QCWA 
will have the same booth at Dayton HamVention as last year, but the 
information is slow in arriving from the HamVention people.  We plan 
to have a forum, but again, we do not know the date and time.  We will 
let you know once we do.

Hello Again,

Your friendly neighborhood webmaster has been at it again.

This time the Events have been placed in a database and the software written to accommodate it has been created.

Please Go to www.qcwa.org/events.php and verify your chapter's information.

I do not want or need a response if everything is ok.

This new format includes the year of the meeting.  In some cases the year has long passed.  However, this doesn't mean it's not correct.  If your entry says 2nd Saturday 1100AM at Denny's, and that's still correct, you don't need to do anything.

You can view your chapter's entries in the Chapter Officer's section of the Members Only webpage too but the info is pulled from the same database and will be the same.

Please verify the dates, times, locations, contacts and the links to Google maps work for your chapter.

For those the maintain your own site, your webmaster can use these scripts:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://www.qcwa.org/js/officers/008.js"></script>

Message-ID: <5133B128.7020207@qcwa.org>


Many of you have sent in your annual chapter report.  If
you have, thank you.  These were due by the end of January.
It is now March, so if you have not, it is past due!

Most of you have sent them in, but I know for sure that some
of our active chapters have not yet gone to your member web
page and filled out the form.  It is easier this year than
ever before.

If you are not sure if your chapter has submitted a form,
you can easily check by going to your member web page.
Scroll down to the chapter section (the part outlined in
yellow/amber), look under the box with the officers listed,
and there is a spot to click to file the annual report.  If
it has been filed, it says so.  If it does not say you have
filed it, then you need to do it -- right now!  It is really
very simple.

On another note, we are in the process of sending out snail
mail renewal notices to those that we do not have e-mail
addresses for.  While I have lowered the cost from the $1.50
each that it cost when Chuck did them to about 35 cents each
the way we are doing them now, it is still much more effective
to send e-mail notices.  So please keep us informed of the
e-mail addresses of your members.  Please query them if they
do not have an e-mail address listed.

I appreciate everyone's help.  It takes all of us working
together to make QCWA a success.

Thanks, 73,

Subject: [QCWA Hotlist] QCWA Interview on the internet
Message-ID: <51389B73.1090604@qcwa.org>


Hello everyone,

You might recall that in my column in the March issue of the eJournal 
that I mentioned that "Ham Radio Now" had recorded an interview at the 
Orlando HamCation about QCWA.  They have now edited the interview, and 
it is on the internet.

You can see it by going to
http://www.hamradionow.tv/
or to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDxIY3CzYV0

Just FYI, the QCWA booth was right "next door", so if you look to the 
left from the camera, depending on which camera is in use, you can see 
Al, W2AS; Roberta, WA2FRW; Sue, N8AJU; Mort, WA2ARS; Pam KD4HTB; and 
at the end, members signing the sign in list.  Jeff, WA4AW, walks by 
at one point. Directly across the aisle is the TenTen booth.  Terry, 
N0TW, is there most of the time.  At one point you can also see Gerry, 
WA6POZ and Jeff, WA4AW.

The interview should give you a good idea about some of the changes 
taking place in QCWA.  I think that they did a really great editing job!

Thanks, 73,

Ken, W8EK

hour and operating on 10 Meters if open and busy; otherwise 15 
Meters. All operation in General Class portions of bands near 
frequencies published in the Rules. CW operation will be at 20 WPM; 
will QRS as necessary. Other hours by operator's choice.

Subject: [QCWA Hotlist] New Chapter Members and Annual Reports
Message-ID: <513F3901.3030902@qcwa.org>


Hello Everyone,

I want to bring something to your attention that MAY require some 
action on the local chapter level.

With the changes that we are making, we are getting MANY renewals from 
members who have not paid their dues for many years, including one who 
had not paid since 1982.  Of course that is a very good thing, and a 
sign that they are liking the changes we are making.  Of course we are 
also getting renewals from members that are basically current, 
renewing just before their membership expires.

But with these renewals I have seen something that is different -- in 
a good way.  Many of these members did not a list a chapter 
affiliation in the past.  Now they are.  So as I process their 
membership, I add the chapter to the data base, which then is 
reflected on the list of chapter members on your member web page.

Here is where we need your help.  I have no idea if these people have 
already contacted the chapter that they are now a part of or not.  If 
they have not already contacted you, then it would be great if you 
could make contact with them.  What I am really asking is that you 
check the list of chapter members on your member web page at least 
weekly, and then make the appropriate contact with any new members 
that appear.  For those chapters that collect dues, you will probably 
want to contact them for that purpose anyhow!

Thanks for your help with this.  We want everyone to feel welcomed.

On another matter, I do not want to sound like a broken record, but 
there are still many chapters that I know for sure are active that 
have not submitted their annual report (which was due Jan 31).  PLEASE 
check and see if this has been done for your chapter.  If not, please 
do it ASAP.  You can easily check this on your member web page. 
Directly beneath the spot where chapter officers are shown there is a 
box to click to submit the annual report.  If it has already been 
submitted, there is a note there telling you who did it and when.  If 
there is not a note there, then you still need to do it.

Just FWIW, the interview that I did at Orlando HamCation apparently 
has been very well received, with many members saying they now have a 
better idea of what we are doing.  It also has resulted in quite a few 
new members, which of course is a great bonus.

Along these lines, we are about one third of the way thru the month of 
March, but I have processed twice as many applications this month as 
the entire month of December, and almost as many as the entire month 
of January, and January is considered a good month.

I appreciate all of the work that you are doing at the local level. 
It takes all of us working together to make QCWA a success.

Thanks, 73,

Ken, W8EK

Good Afternoon,

In an ongoing effort to protect our member's information, the new member's button has been moved to the Members Only web page.  You will find it in the Membership Directory section.

This is a good place to find new QCWA members in your area.  New Members are listed here the day after their application has been processed.

You might need to refresh your browser for the new button to be available.  Likewise, it the button still exists on the home page, refresh your browser to it disappears.

Subject: [QCWA Hotlist] Chapter Reports for the May eJournal
Message-ID: <BAY158-W51E19EE84ADE57B6D08EE8E4EA0@phx.gbl>


If you would like 
to submit a chapter report for the May QCWA eJournal, it must be received April 
1. Those received after that date will go in the June eJournal.  
Please email your chapter report to qcwaeditor at gmail.com with a 
copy to k4ya at qcwa.org.  If you include a photo, 
use a JPEG file and don?t forget to include a caption for the photo. 
 In the email subject line, please include your chapter name and 
number.  
 
We greatly 
appreciate that the vast majority of you have been limiting your chapter reports to 750 
words and a maximum of two photos as we have requested.  Unfortunately a few 
have been ignoring this.  Compared to the printed journal this provides more 
than four times the word count and three times the photo submissions over the 
same time period.  Putting the eJournal together is a very time consuming 
process.  As our editor first puts the eJournal together, parts of it literally 
have to be typed in.  It is not a simple matter of copy and paste.  Before the 
eJournal is placed on the website for members to download, proofreaders have 
also spent much time looking for errors.  Their corrections are submitted to our 
editor who makes the corrections before the eJournal is made available to the 
membership.  Very long chapter reports, over 750 words and over two photos, 
requires even more time.  This in turn makes it more difficult and time 
consuming.  Additionally it delays the availability of the eJournal to the 
membership.  So again, we respectfully request that you limit your chapter 
reports to no longer than 750 words and two photos maximum.

Subject: [QCWA Hotlist] Attention: A New Feature!
Message-ID: <414C4F728D9842729A6C5635BB210367@BobsWeb>

Chapter Officers can now modify the list of officers for their chapter.

In the Chapter Officer's section, under: "A NEW Chapter Manual is available in these formats: doc, rtf and pdf."

You will find a new button "Change the Officers".

This is very straight forward and easy to use (I hope).  Don't worry about messing it up, I can restore the old values from the daily backup which happens at 0400 every morning.

Make a list of your chapters existing officers before you start.  Once an officer is deleted, the information is gone, immediately!

You can delete or add an officer. 

To change your president, delete the old entry.

Go to the bottom of the window and 
select the position you want the office displayed in, 
select your new president from among the active QCWA members assigned to your chapter.
     If the member you wish to add is not listed, their membership may be expired or they may not be listed as a member of your chapter.
     Correct either situation with HQ and try again a day or two after things are resolved.
Select the office, if the office you need is not listed, Enter the office in the "Add an Office" text box.

Click Add to do so.

Adding the information and clicking "Back to the Chapter Officer's Section" does not add the new entry.  
The "Add'" button must be used to add a new officer position.

If you have more than 10 officers, let me know, I'll modify the program to accommodate your chapter.

The latest officer list is viewable in the Members Only section of the web page.

Email addresses will be deleted or added on the Hotlist Reflector the day after any change is made, if HQ has the new officers email id.

Please ask any questions you may have.

Enjoy es 73,

Hi Everybody,

Two new buttons are available just to the left of 'Change the Officers" on the Chapter Officer's section of the Members Only webpage.

You now have the ability to change your chapter's events.  Make sure you have the street address correct or Google Maps will not properly show where you are meeting.

If your meeting facility doesn't show up on Google Maps you may request that they add it.

The second new button allows you to Change your chapter's net(s).

If you are not sure what should or can be added take a look at what other chapters are doing.
