Bud does make a good point. I will add that the CAC is almost completely devoid of VHF contest expertise. I have had complaints from members about that. Maybe someone who is VHF savvy, and not just 6m. When my CAC rep decides that he's not going to serve anymore, I will probably look for one of those. 73 Ria, N2RJ On Thu, May 27, 2021 at 4:50 PM Hippisley, George (Bud), W2RU, (Dir, RK) <w2ru@arrl.org> wrote:
I don’t have the current CAC list in front of me, but I tend to think that body needs fewer “super jocks”, not more. I’m not keen on “interlocking directorates” and that’s what you tend to get if you focus on the Top 10 (or 15, in our case) of Contesting (CAC) or DXing (DXAC).
If the contesting community were bereft of others with good ideas, perhaps choosing Randy would be the best idea. But there are a gazillion active, committed contesters in each of our Divisions, so spreading the “wealth” would be my preference.
How about going to YCCC (and any other contest clubs in New England) and asking them to submit 3-5 names for consideration? That might take longer, but some other good candidates might pop up.
And “Thank you!” for inviting us to comment!

W1UE has retired, and the New England post on the Contest Advisory Committee is vacant, and it falls to me to name a member.
I am thinking about K5ZD, and he is willing. But he also directs the CQ WW DX Contest.
I ask my fellow Board members – should I nominate Randy Thompson, K5ZD, as the New England rep on CAC?
