[CQ-Contest] flotsam & jetsam on www

[Don Daso]

Sometimes, interesting things wash ashore while surfing.  I found this
contest-related tidbit the other evening.  I hesitated to post it, but
the ramifications of such "commercially sponsored" discussion seem too
important to simply pass by....

In other words, contesters should be aware this is going on.  vy 73 de

HAM RADIO & MORE SHOW
NOW STARTING IT'S 7TH YEAR!

   The Ham Radio & More Show premiered in April, 1991.The show originates
in the studios of  KFNN, AM1510, in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona. The ONLY
weekly radio show devoted to amateur radio on the commercial broadcast
bands! Each week brings guests, listener call-ins, news, prize
give-a-ways and more.

SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1997, 3-5PM, IN ROOM #5, AT THE DAYTON HAMVENTION, I
WILL BE HOSTING A SPECIAL FORUM ENTITLED "THE HAM RADIO OPEN TOWN
MEETING", PRODUCED BY BILL PASTERNAK, WA6ITF (NEWSLINE). 

THERE WILL BE 4 TOPICS OF DISCUSSION IN ? HOUR INCREMENTS. (1) SHOULD
CW BE A REQUIREMENT FOR VOICE PRIVILEGES ON HF? (2) SHOULD
CONTESTING BE CURTAILED OR HAVE CERTAIN AREAS OF OPERATION ONLY?
(3) IS THE INTERNET GOOD OR BAD FOR AMATEUR RADIO, AND CAN BE
CO-EXIST TOGETHER? (4) IS THE ARRL DOING ALL IT CAN FOR AMATEUR RADIO
OR DOES IT NEED COMPETITION? 

Come and be part of this exciting forum.
