[SEDXC] FW: RE: [SECC] GA QSO party activity?

[gregpotter at charter.net]

Hi Tad,

Just my 2 cents on this one. Here's my take on the situation. I hope I 
don't get banned from the list.


I think there are a few things going on:

1. Palm Sunday  -  For some of us anyway

2. Economy -  While we keep hearing it is getting better, it just does 
not feel like it.

3. Lack of Leadership - The country as a whole is in a state of stress 
with Russia invading Crimea and maybe even the Ukraine.  Folks are 
worried (especially folks our age who understand the ramifications & our 
leader's incomptetence) and therefore it just is not that happy time 
that fosters participation in fun activities like GAQP.  These are 
dangerous times.

This is not the fault of the SECC folks....it goes a lot deeper than 
that ......  again   ....just my 2 cents  (just because you asked).

73's ,
Greg
