[LCC] Is it time for the Louisiana Contest Club to spread it's wings

Steve,
 
Your proposals are right on the money. I share your concerns.  Many groups 
/ clubs are looking for ways to enhance  interest in activities.  The LCC is 
no exception.  A meeting on  SKYPE  is another alternative or a chat room.  
 Let try one  of your suggestions and see how it works?  If it  does not  
attract folks then we can try other ideas.  
 
Have others offered any ideas?

Or can we get more people  motivated and active ?



​One of the biggest  challenges of our organization as I see it is
getting everyone  together


We have many members  but rarely do we have more than a half dozen at a 
meeting, the exception last  year was at the SARA HamFest we had about 24 folks 
there, maybe more


What I propose has  been brought up once before....


let's build and  embrace a public virtual place for members and guest to 
congregate


This idea for some  reason was not widely accepted last time I mentioned 
it,  maybe now is  the time ?


BTW there are many  successful clubs that have done this
here are just a couple of  examples....

​
I propose an OPEN FB  page
is an open FB that  scary ?

Those that embrace only a closed page limit visibility
like the St Louis, MO amateur  Radio club that is closed and has only 21 
members    21 members is  pretty small for St Louis !

If NOT a FB page  then maybe a Blog
like this  one..........

or something else ?


How about meetings at members  stations on contest week-ends ?
not just a handful of ops ONCE a  year, I want to see our organization grow 
!


What is wrong with that, are we  not a contest club ?


OR what about some  virtual online Multi-OP entry's
in contest that allow  them
ask AA5AU about his journey with  a team into doing this


I know there are less than a  handful that play most Wednesday's for an 
Hour in the CW OPS Cw  test
it is fun and you don't have to  be a QRQ op to play


Ask Marsh KA5M, Dallas K1DW or  myself for more info
on the weekly CW test  sessions


Not a CW op then what about a  group of us playing in the Phone Fray each 
Tuesday night
and no I am not saying every  Tuesday


Or what about using my station  for a week via remote
and your station next week via  remote control
easily done ask Scott W5WZ and  remoting a station


What I am saying is let's  generate some ACTIVITY !!!
otherwise we will be the club  that was


Or maybe LCC is not broken and it is  just me, but I am concerned



Cheers!
Steve
