I think the existing rules are just fine in that regard -- among other 
things, they encourage a sense of community.  When we move, we join one 
or more new communities, and make new friends. That's part of moving!

NCCC has a fair number of guys who moved here from the east. NI6T, NW6P, 
N6RO, N3ZZ, K2RD, K6RB, K2VCO, and KE1B, are a few who come to mind. Our 
current President is W1RH, W1SRD our current VP, N6BV is a past 
President. All three are former members of YCCC.  I moved from Chicago, 
where I was a member of SMC, to the San Francisco Bay area in 2006. I 
happily joined NCCC, which has turned out to be the best club of which 
I've ever been a member. In doing so, I've made a lot of new friends. I 
suggest that you do the same.
