[CQ-Contest] Observations of a young ham

[Joe]

But other than Field Day, How does one get clubs to try like SS or CQWW?

Most clubs that I know of are lucky to even get members to come to a 
meeting.

Yet the social aspect they do like. Like I said they like FD, and coming 
soon the annual Holiday Party.

But have them try anything other than FD and all ya hear are crickets.
