Hello All.........

While we are getting together for a WRTC meeting and you are thinking about
that I'd like to give you one more topic to think about. As the new
President of FRC I have been hearing strong rumblings that my membership
thinks the 3  QSO penalty is excessive. What do the rest of you think? I
have an addendum to that question. If the answer is you are satisfied with
the 3 Q penalty do the old records get an asterisk?  (i.e.:  * pre-UBN.) Or
do we go back (if at all possible)  and subject the old records to the same
UBN scrutiny that we now suffer under? N3OC figured out we at V26B would
have to average 70 Q's more an hour for 48 hours to approach the NA record
in CQ Phone to pass today's average UBN figures. And what, pray tell, would
happen if I just so happen to have QSL cards for QSO's that were not
allowed? Some things to think about on route to Amateur Radio Mecca. See you
in the Miami Room Thursday night.
