<DIV>Ray,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for you email.... am sure that we all understand how
misunderstandings happen. So more quickly these days with the
Internet. Glad you are able to shed light on what has really
happened. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From the email exchanges there is still lots of interest in the
LAQP. A few years back I put 13 parishes on the air in the LAQP
via my mobile rig and had a great time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Of particular note was "trying to schedule the event" away from other
serious contests/hamfests/etc. With the busy ham calendar this may be
difficult. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please forward my email to those in the W5YC club. I and others
would be willing participants to do some of the "committee"
work. Also people out side LA have offered advice on software etc.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again. Hope to work you more in future contests.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>73 de Dallas yes there is a one in Louisiana named
Dallas </DIV>

John,<BR><BR>I did not ask or encourage my old friend Dave K4JRB to attempt to
save the La Qso Party.<BR><BR>The Thibodaux ARC at this time is NOT dropping
Sponsorship of the La Qso Party.<BR><BR>The Chairman and I both resigned last
week but the club has not stated that they are going to drop
sponsorship.<BR><BR>Dave K4JRB was trying to help but he did so without my
knowledge and not at the request of the Thibodaux ARC.<BR><BR>Further, I have
no idea how Mickey K5MC got in this mix for he has nothing to do with the La
Qso Party since he is not the section manager.<BR><BR>73 and good
