[CQ-Contest] contest clubs and boundaries

[Joe]

My feeling always was just like any other Radio club, Where the club 
boundaries were determined by both the number of members in the club, as 
well as the distance from like the meeting place of the monthly meeting.

The distance was more or less the distance someone would be willing to 
travel once a month to the "Meeting"

And numbers of members all have to do with density. Like where i am now, 
the nearest "Club" is a 45 minute drive. And has maybe a dozen members.

Yet where I came from the Chicago area there are maybe a dozen clubs or 
more within that 45 minute drive time and each one has over 100 members.

I would never in any case say a person is a member of a club, if the 
travel to the monthly meeting is longer than what they would be willing 
to do every single month.
