We have now posted the LCC membership roster on our web site. The list is behind a simple user/password, to keep the scan-bots from getting to it. The page is: <a href="http://louisianacontestclub.org/members.htm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://louisianacontestclub.org/members.htm</a> . The user and password (case sensitive) are in the box on the right side of the page.<br>
<br>
I apologize for the delay in getting the list posted. We changed Sec/Treas this year and it took some extra time to change over from Quickbooks® based accounting to an Excel® based system. Because a few member's dues payments had been temporarily misplaced (all are 100% accounted for now), and therefore not posted as timely as normal, we have given the maximum latitude for the year your dues were credited. Any member who paid in 2015, but didn't show up on the roster in 2015 have been given credit for 2016. Additionally, any member paying for a FULL year after August 1 of 2015 were credited for 2016. All checks and paypal payments received through Feb 8, 2016 have been credited.<br>
<br>
The posted roster shows your projected end date, and if we have not received dues for the current year (2016), the year that we show your membership lapsed. If you feel that we are incorrect, please contact me via email and I will research further. We ask all members to check the page and if we show your membership as expired, please consider renewing and joining in the camaraderie of contesting. Yes, it is easy to forget, but it is also easy to get signed back up! We still take check via mail; check or cash at live meetings; or paypal. Address for check and paypal info are available on our page: <a href="http://louisianacontestclub.org/dues.htm" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://louisianacontestclub.org/dues.htm</a> . If using paypal, please include your call and the year you are paying for.<br>
<br>
We encourage all members to stay current on their dues, and to participate in as many contests as possible. Among other things, your dues are used to support our web site and reflector, the Louisiana Qso Party (LaQP) certificates and postage and several plaques for international contests. The LaQP is continuing to grow and we have received several very positive comments on the certificates we mailed out for 2015. More info on LaQP is available at: <a href="http://laqp.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://laqp.org/</a>.<br>
<br>
Participation in club activities is contagious and as we form teams and encourage activity on the reflector, we ask you to speak up, join a team, and get on the air. If you do, others might just do the same and we will find ourselves competing with (and sometimes beating) some of the larger clubs across the country. Let's get on the air and have fun participating as a CLUB!<br>
<br>
Back to the roster - you will also notice a different look to the roster. It was felt that even with the front door, having email addresses posted might make it too easy to end up on a spam list. I would like to poll the membership here, and at the meeting in Rayne (March 12) to see just what information you would like to have shown on the roster. Knowing ARRL membership helps us when we file our annual report for ARRL affiliation for the club. Information we could keep or add could include:<br>
phone number<br>
email address<br>
basic address<br>
complete address (parish and grid square)<br>
license class<br>
personal web site url<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
If you have any comments or suggestions, please just drop me a personal note and I'll get back to you.<br>
<br>
73!<br>
Mark, K5ER<br>
LCC Sec/Treas<br>
