Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

      Near the first of the year, our President sent an email 
reminding everyone that LCC club dues were due on Jan 1st. It is now 
February 20, and we are still only at about a 40% retention rate. I 
would like to encourage all who wish to remain members in good 
standing to visit the club web page 
http://www.louisianacontestclub.org/dues.htm to pay via paypal, or 
for the address to send a check. We have a few who are more than 2 
years in arrears, and we will be purging the rolls soon, to reflect 
current/active members.

      Speaking of such, although the books are up to date, the LaQP 
certificates were sent out, and the LaQP site has been updated, 
(remember to take part coming up on March 18), I have not been 
actively contesting or cheer leading /team forming before contests 
for about 18 months. Thankfully, around mid-May, I'll be a new 
college graduate and (once I go to work) plan to return to my former 
activity level in contesting and club activities. I appreciate the 
positive comments and support from those who knew what I was up to. I 
also appreciate the patience from the club, as my time has been very 
limited during the time I have been focusing on school, but I feel 
sure the commitment will be worth the sacrifice.

      We use the money generated by dues to keep up the primary 
Louisiana Contest Club and LaQP web sites, to purchase certificates 
and postage for  the LaQP winners, and to purchase plaques for 
several contests, along with other normal club expenses. We recently 
sponsored the plaque for the Ten Meter RTTY contest for a two year 
period (in conjunction with ARRL). We also just received a thank you 
for the CQ WPX CW plaque we sponsor, and are working to renew that 
sponsorship. Because of your club membership, we are able to continue 
to participate in activities to give back to the contest community, 
and the board appreciates your commitment and monetary participation 
via dues payments

      I have just sent a revised membership roster to our web-master, 
so you will be able to check soon to see if you are current. If you 
are on the list, please accept our thanks and please continue to be 
active in club activities and contesting.  If not on the list, please 
consider re-joining us, get active on the air, and join in club/team 
activities in the contests. Its always fun to participate in group 
competition, and our club has a history of placing high in team competition.

     Hope to see you at the Rayne hamfest on March 11. LCC meeting 
time is 10:30 Saturday morning.

73,

Mark Ketchell
