That comes as close to anything to describing the character of the club as I've seen written down for posterity. I remember discussing it with W4AN and W4WA before we ever started the club. None of u
It looks like we're having our annual discussion on the nature and purpose of the SECC. Not being able to say it any better than Lee already has, I'll defer to his comments; truncated below. I just w
-- I don't agree with Lee on all his points, but I would like to point out that if the ARRL requires the Constitution and By-Laws, we'd better comply if we want to continue as an affiliated Club. And

I don't disagree with any of this. But interacting only on the reflector has made many members feel disconnected and distant. Face-to-face activities would make us feel more connected. And the SECC d
Changing is the wrong word. Enhance, yes, I think enhancing the internet club is a good idea. Indeed. Sounds great. Jeff, you were doing great right up to the "take my ball and go home" line.... <gri

Be careful about putting too much emphasis on the "circle." Yes, it is required for ARRL contests. Yes, it should be moved further south since we get virtually no participation in TN and NC. But, it
