Thank you Steve for your suggestions, and especially for your interest in and enthusiasm for LCC.
Personally I think an open LCC Facebook page is a good idea.

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 !
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1710274999234372/
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
