Good post Jeff. I knew after the Ca QSO party I was going to have to
make a decision of which club to select when submitting my score. I
have been teetering on the fence all evening, and watching to see what
the other guys are going to do. It looks like the Ala guys, who are also
SECC members, are submitting their scores for ACG. I guess that is to be
expected, and so it does support the idea of moving the SECC circle.
It's a tough decision to make, but I guess I should also support this
new group in their endeavor to get the club going (especially since it's
my home state).
Looking at your summary sheet for Alabama contributions, it seems that
with the exception of the SS scores, the largest part of that total was
mine.
ARRL DX: 1,495,368
160M CW: 130,960
10 Meter contest: 274,604
I guess that should make the decision a little easier. I am at the most
northwestern part of the circle.
