[SECC] Proposed New Center for Circle

[ku8e at bellsouth.net (ku8e at bellsouth.net)]

I am sorry that Dan. W4NTI feels the way he does. I am not trying to kick 
anyone out of the club.
 We vote on all proposals that are made for the club.

A couple years ago when I made a similar proposal to move the circle there were 
a bunch of our members in east GA and SC who couldn't submit scores because 
they were not in the circle. I did research back then and now and the fact is 
there were only a handful of AL stations that were submitting scores for SECC 
and it might of be better to move the circle to include those east of us who 
wanted to. If you don't believe me go the the ARRL contesting webpage and go 
over the past 5 years of contesting results. You can sort the data by state and 
club. 


The bottom line is that I didn't make the motion to change the club circle. 
This was brought 
up at the club meeting at the Atlanta Hamfest. If this was a concern to any 
member then maybe you should of attended the club meeting and expressed you 
opinion. It was a well known fact that this might be discussed at the meeting.

Sorry to rant about this but it gets old when anyone suggests a change to the 
club and you have to listen to someone who is a marginal contributer to the 
club cry wolf.

p.s.  Dan and many other ACG members would be well within the 250 mile circle 
for CQ (old circle and proposed) and could still submit their scores for SECC.
