Greg,
I think we need two efforts:
1) Recruitment - we need to find contestors or interested parties and get
them involved. Along this line, we need to mentor or educate budding
contestors.
2) Activity - everyone in the club needs to get on for any contest that
they can. Even if it is just a few hours, it adds up. For ARRL contests,
we're allowed up to 50 scores in the Medium category, and even though we
have more than that many eligible members, we have never put in that many.
I'm always amazed at the number of teams that the TCG manages to put
together for NAQP. Sometimes they have 6 or 7, while we struggle to put
together 2 or 3.

Two years ago, NQ4I was planning an open house, right before 9/11 struck.
We don't have to have meetings at Hamfests, we can just call for a
get-together. It wouldn't hurt to have a group gather 'round and talk
about contesting.
Any takers?
