[SixClub] CW SK

[R Johnson]

What do you expect, the ARRL is looking for $$$ !!!

With ARRL membership plummeting faster than a "Rock in the Water" !!!

Remember when to be an "ARRL Affiliated Club" you needed 25% of the club members to be ARRL Members.

Then they had to reduce it to 20% to keep the "Affiliated Club" status up, next it will be 15% !!!

At least the VHF+ representation is starting to increase since the ARRL re-instituted the VUAC after
the ARRL screwed us out of it and gave it to the CAC for HF Rules interpretation of VHF+ NEEDS !!!

I'm not sure WE count for much with the League !!!

73 es Merry Christmas
