If you are PVRC, YCCC, FRC, FCG, NCCC, etc. and have been submitting scores
for 20 years or more to the SAME club, why should you have to submit scores
to a club in a new area to which you have no allegiance?

I think the existing rules are just fine in that regard -- among other things, they encourage a sense of community. When we move, we join one or more new communities, and make new friends. That's part of moving!

NCCC has a fair number of guys who moved here from the east. NI6T, NW6P, N6RO, N3ZZ, K2RD, K6RB, K2VCO, and KE1B, are a few who come to mind. Our current President is W1RH, W1SRD our current VP, N6BV is a past President. All three are former members of YCCC. I moved from Chicago, where I was a member of SMC, to the San Francisco Bay area in 2006. I happily joined NCCC, which has turned out to be the best club of which I've ever been a member. In doing so, I've made a lot of new friends. I suggest that you do the same.
