Which is why I have been suggesting a response from W4OC as to his
intentions.

There is no mention in the C&BLs which state that "full membership" is
only for those inside the circle.
Incidentally, moving the circle even a little has more effect than you
might imagine.
It's hard to imagine, but whoever made that initial decision as to the
center of the circle accomplished the equivalent of a hole in one on a
shot between Earth and the Moon.
I'm going to try to devote more time to this matter, but frankly,
right now I'm swamped.
But, having an accurate list of those who do participate according to
the C&BLs might be a world of help. It's time to clean up the list,
once and for all.
Until I stopped a few months ago, I was the one who kept the master
RTTY database on
AA5AU's page. And I will guarantee you if you're not on that list,
you're not on RTTY.
I do intend to submit a motion to be added to the C&BLs allowing the
circle to be shifted.
