10 NOV, 2002 - 2300 CST Tom, your forwarded YCCC message made my weekend! Last night I read the lengthy Op-Ed piece in the December QST lamenting the eminent disappearance of Section News in QST. I understand the writer's viewpoint, but his lack of overall perspective is a great disappointment. This evening I received your forwarded message and it's a very nice counter-balance to this QST piece. 73 - Dick, W9GIG

[ARRL-ODV:7941] Returning co-sponsors
by Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ 06 Nov '02

According to Derek Riker, of the 34 cosponsors to HR 4720, we only lost two in addition to Patsy Mink of Hawaii, who died a couple of weeks ago: Rep. Bob Schaffer (R-CO) - retired Rep. Constance Morella (R-MD)- defeated Patsy Mink was re-elected over her live opponent so there will be a special election to fill her seat. Rod, Larry Price, and Frank Butler (who is here privately) all arrived safely in San Marino, as did I. T7IARU will be active later in the week. Dave T7/K1ZZ

QCWA National Convention trip reportThanks for the report, Dave. For years I anxiously awaited the time when I could join QCWA. Six years ago when I became eligible, I signed up for two years. After the first year, I was really sorry I did. As a 44 year old ham, reading the QCWA Journal was the most depressing thing I've ever seen in a ham radio magazine. Had I been 84 years old, it may have appealed to me. While I have monumental respect for all their members, most of whom elmered amateur through the years, the organization has absolutely nothing to offer a person my age that has been a radio amateur now for more than 30 years and I perceived absolutely no benefit in being a member. To quote Opra (gag..) "You need a makeover, honey!" 73 Joel W5ZN

http://www.citizencorps.gov/ Through contacts instigated by Ms. Mary Hobart, I am in a dialog with Suzann Gallagher of FEMA. We have talked about various participation on a federal level and this may be a real door opener. Suzann and I hope to have something for the board in the way of a working agreement by the January meeting. Jim Haynie, W5JBP
