[Mldxcc] New time/date

[Rick and Karen Samoian]

Hi Rich
I have been following this thread and "IMHO" the past weekend was lightly 
attended due to all the factors you listed.  It was "the perfect storm" so 
to speak.  Summer vacations, very hot weather, many chasing the new DXCC 
country, high gas prices and some of us just had other plans for that 
weekend.  Maybe, a joint meeting in Spring or Fall , would eliminate the 
vacations and high temps.?  Any thoughts?  de Rick
