However, I think it should be put to a vote. Personally, I never operated this QSO Party because it always fell on the same weekend as a major RTTY contest (maybe WPX RTTY in February?). If LCC were to pick up sponsorship of the LA QSO Party, I think it should be moved to another weekend.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>73, Don AA5AU<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> LCC [mailto:lcc-bounces@louisianacontestclub.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>K1DW@aol.com<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, December 10, 2013 9:12 AM<br><b>To:</b> lcc@louisianacontestclub.org<br><b>Cc:</b> k4bai@worldnet.att.net<br><b>Subject:</b> [LCC] Fwd: [CQ-Contest] Louisiana QSO Party - 2014 - Active?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>John,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>I will forward your email to those who have talked about it.
