[SixClub] should the 6 club, sponsor dxpeditions ?

[Dave Walton]

The Houston Shot Chapter of 10-X International Net is a very large Sub
Chapter, and has many hundreds of Members World Wide. In the various 10
Meter, and 10-X Contests they usually WIN the Club Station category due to
nso many members participating in the Contests, and sending results in with
Houston Shot as the affiliated Club. Very nice bunch of Hams.

Yours in the Hobby,

Dave Walton - W7CAR
