[SixClub] should the 6 club, sponsor dxpeditions ?

[ke5apj]

Why not..?

I recently began participating in a "Ten-Ten International" net (Houston 
SHOT net at 28.488 Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. local time), seems the Houston SHOT 
NET atracts more QSO's from far flung location on 10m than on local VHF 
public service nets on repeaters..  Some who logged into the Houton SHOT Net 
last week, were from Georgia, Ohio & Iowa (Several in Florida & Louisiana 
check in regularly.).

They have competion for awards based on the number of 10-10 numbers 
collected over any given time frame, the Houston SHOT Net last week logged 
over 35 login's during an hour time frame..
