Well after reading the posting on this. I must throw in MTC (My Two Cents)
1. There were accusations of Club sponserd DX-expeditions.2 That FRC and PVRC
wanted it so the rule was changed !! 3. this applies to only the Big $$$
guys . 4. The CAC did not seek input from Contest community
1 Being a member of the FRC for 15 yrs and Currently President
The DX-expedition`ers only get one thing. GIANT amounts of Moral support.
The FRC in no way gives financial aid For or to any DX-expeditions
2. I wish this statement had validity. I have a wish list to present to the
CAC members
at Dayton to try this theory out. our CAC Rep is K3LR a NCC member and
AA2DU is a YCCC member. neither PVRC or FRC members!!!!!!
3. AS for this Rule being for the FILTHY RICH......
In The FRC the DX-peditioner travelers run the gambit from Dr`s to
Truck Drivers
and a Mail Man throw in to boot. ( Do Not Piss Off Mail Men we know what
happens )
So if Working Stiffs 9 to 5 guys are Filthy Rich Then par time At Wall/
Mart is average. I work for Mack Trucks no big bucks hr
4. At Dayon last year 1995 there was alot of talk on the proposed ARRL
contest rule changes . The 10mtr Club Comp. Vhf Contest portable and
DX-expeditions counting for club aggregate score. I recive news letters
from other contest clubs. And remember seeing them seeking opinions and
advising there members to write call
E mail ther CAC rep`s to make there thoughts known. We the FRC had it in
our news letter and had discussions at our Reg meetings. For those
Who live in the Mega cluster SYS YCCC.TRI STATE, FRC,PVDXA . N4MM had
on more then one occasion posted the proposed rule changes and advised
the community to speak to there CAC rep... NOTHING SWEPT UNDER ANY
CARPETS HERE
