Subject: [LCC] Is it time for the Louisiana Contest Club to spread it's wings  Or can we get more people motivated and active ?  ​One of the biggest challenges of our organization as I see it isgetting 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 thishere are just a couple of examples....

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1576440742579802/  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1576440742579802/​I propose an OPEN FB pageis an open FB that scary ?

Those that embrace only a closed page limit visibilitylike 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 Bloglike this one..........http://sdxa.blogspot.com/  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'sin contest that allow themask 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 testit is fun and you don't have to be a QRQ op to play  Ask Marsh KA5M, Dallas K1DW or myself for more infoon the weekly CW test sessions  Not a CW op then what about a group of us playing in the Phone Fray each Tuesday nightand no I am not saying every Tuesday  Or what about using my station for a week via remoteand your station next week via remote controleasily 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!SteveKG5VK  http://www.KG5VK.com
