[WWYC] WWYC Sections

[Hrvoje Horvat]

Lets see... by now I have some answers received on the how Tony calls them
coordinators for special regions/DXCC:
Guys that showed their interest without my help are as follows:-)

United States of America: Mid US - K9YO, West Coast: NW7DX
Benelux - (ON/PA/LX) - LX2AJ
United Kingdom (G-GZ) - M3PHP
Latin Europe (Italy, France, Spain, Portugal) - IZ3ESV
Croatia - 9A6XX

What would this coordinators do? My ideas:
- Informing a local radio magazines about WWYC
- Giving their address for WWYC membership applications (if by post-mail)
for the area they are coordinating
- A little help around with WWYC Bulletin (future one :-) )
- Distribution of Bulletin to those that cant read us online (means we will
have to make like 5 USD membership fee for outside-internet members for the
costs of printing-posting few printed pages 3-4 times a year? shouldnt be
much people anyway)

I'm sure all of this wouldnt take too much time to anyone.

Also, we do know that this club is pretty unformal. KL9A made a step and
made it formal when he registered club KM7W as West Coast WWYC, so I think
there should be few more of such clubs, where it's possible in other
countries.

OK, this is it by now, keep on rocking!
BTW folks, soon expect some more infos about the WWYC DXped. I hope this
will come true this year. Would be a big step really.

> I can see a nice debate on this subject. This means that we feel real
loyal and that we are really devoted to the Club! As I already wrote to
OZ1AA and LZ5AZ, here in Italy two of us are going to enter Hall of Fame
this year or at least the next one. So I will remain alone to be the only
effective enlisted member in Italy.
> I have expressed my wish to work as recruiter/secretary for Italy (the
right function and the right charge will be decided together)... But if in
the "smaller" countries, where WWYCers are less than in other countries, a
representative would not be needed, this could be not a good way to promote
WWYC in these countries, where Ham radio is practiced but our Club is not
well known.
> My proposal is to establish, for the time we will consider necessary, a
slightly higher lever of coordination: for example, a Coordinator should be
decided to take care of the "Latins", meaning in this way, i.e., Italy,
France, Spain and Portugal. Recollecting in this way a huge number of
operators, considerably in the number as in other "larger" countries. By the
way, these four countries share quite the same culture, language, way of
thinking and way of living ham radio... It's not a shame that each
population has a peculiar way to practice our Service!!
> So in this way, waiting for the number of operators to increase in each
Country, a coordinator should work for "regions", i.e. Baltic area, Eastern
Europe, South America, Benelux (this has been already proposed), UK,
Australia and Pacific, Far East and so on. Keep in mind that this is only an
idea, and that the particularity of each Country, as far as in culture and
way of thinking and also on the Hamming style, must be respected and
appreciated.
> I volunteer for Italy and, (perhaps??) European Latins. For a coordinator
to be eligible I think that we should consider two things:
> - the first one, that WWYC is the only CONTESTING club he belongs to. Note
that CONTESTING IS NOT DXign club...
> - the second one, that he should have at least 5 years more to spend on t
>  all for the attention, I wait for instructions!
