[WWYC] WWYC and Dayton

[Trevor Fulk]

Hey guys!
The Hamvention 2004 was great. I think there will be pictures up from KE9R
sometime tonight or tomorrow. There were a couple of other WWYC members that
Chris didn't mention: KB9UWU, K3ASK, there may be others that I missed also.


On to the comments from K3EST. As Chris mentioned, Bob Cox, K3EST came and
asked if we would nominate one of our members to serve on the CQ Contest
committee. The current members are listed here
http://www.cqww.com/members.html and are all USA, although there are DX
advisors. I volunteered at the dinner to organize our selection process, so
I would like to ask that any questions and all nominations be sent to me by
the end of this coming week (5/21). I will reply to all questions as I get
them, and if needed contact Bob Cox for answers. An e-mail will come out
next Monday with all members who have been nominated, and have accepted the
nomination. (If you are nominated, I will contact you directly to find out
if you are willing to serve as part of the committee for this year). After
that, either we will use the poll on the wwyc.net site to vote for our
representative, or we will find another method that is reasonably unbiased.
I would like to be able to send Bob a name by June 1.

This is a huge opportunity for us as a group to be a good influence on the
contesting community, as well as being able to talk to some of the best
contesters directly with questions and suggestions that might improve the
contests for greater participation by the young contesters. I can see this
leading to one of our members being asked to be on the ARRL contest advisory
board as well. 


73 and hope to hear from some of you soon with nominations!

Ok, Ok, so I talk to much, but we need to do this right...

HOLA!
de KL9A/W8 Dayton, OH.  Just sitting here on the wireless internet before
we pack up and leave.  Thought I would take this opportunity to inform the
WWYCers on some developments in the past few days.

First, we had a great WWYC turnout!!!  The list of WWYCers I remember is:
KE9R, K9MU, Amber (KC9???), KB9THU, N9YM, Michael N9YM's bro (don't
remember call), AF4QZ, N4YDU, S55OO, M0BBB/5B4???, SM0W (who I missed!),
K3OOO, W7TDC, K9YO... I apologize if I forgot anyone.

So, some news.  

K3EST came up to us at the contesting dinner and said that the CQWW Contest
Committee has created a new position for a WWYCer.  We're to nominate a
representative to be on the committee and let him know who it is before
JUNE.  The position would last 1 year, and we would rotate it.  I am not
sure if you have to be USA or not?  Anyway, that's cool!!!

There is some other news that maybe some of the 9 land lidz can fill us in
on.  I was a little preoccupied with bartending at times. :)

More when I get back to Idaho, but WWYC had a huge turnout at Dayton 2004,
and EXCELLENT support from the contest community!  We were received very
well.

73!!!
