Since K1IR distributed copies of the original letter on the cq-contest reflector, and I'm sure on most contest club reflectors, I sure hope he'll do the same with the response. I can twist his arm also... Prez Haynie was trying to reach him by telephone today also, since e-mail doesn't always "do the job". -- Tom At 05:02 PM 1/24/2002 -0500, Huntington Howard-CADV02 wrote:

Dave,

Good reply as always.

Since this input was presumably from presidents of several major contest clubs, is it appropriate to independently distribute this letter further?

Thanks,

Howie, K9KM

Here is the reply I am sending to Jim Idelson, K1IR, in response to the letter he sent me for distribution to the Board last week.
