[CQ-Contest] Proposed QST changes, Hit 'em where it Hurts $$$

[Bernie McClenny, W3UR]

Sorry I won't consider any of them Bob.  The day the ARRL closes its doors Amateur
Radio will follow.  I may not agree with everything the league does but I am still
a supporting member!  The best idea is to contact your director.  If you don't
have one pick on and contact them.

Yes I write for the league.  If I didn't, I still support the overall direction of
the ARRL.  With out them we'd be with out our hobby because no other organization
in the US will be there to do so.

Bernie, W3UR

PS by the way Trey, N5KO, and company are leaving the Falklands today heading for
South Sandwich.
