     The recent thread on where to find a computer program that 
     would generate a great-circle map centered on one's QTH led 
     me to the list of programs accessable at :-
         ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/hamradio/arrl/bbs/programs
     Does anyone know if there is a listing of what these progrms 
     do? I have "unzipped" a few that looked interesting, based on 
     their titles, but this is a slow and tedious process. A text 
     file that gives one a general idea of what each program is 
     intended to accomplish would surely be helpful. I would 
     appreciate any reply directly to john.evans at Comsat.com  - and 
     a Merry Christmas all!  John,N3HBX.

Hi Dan,

I got a very nice message back from my Director Kay, WT3P, 
immediately following the forwarding to her of the comments regarding 
the lack of publication of the rules in QST. She told me that there 
are several negative thoughts regarding QST changes over the past 
year. She has placed the message passed on the reflector into her 
file and will present it at the January Board meeting after the new 
Membership Services Committee is appointed. There's no point giving 
it to the outgoing group only to get lost with the new MSC members.

After all, the squINT is a long standing tradition on New Year's Day!!

As Al B. would say,  "Let's rock" !
