Open Up Contests - Reduce Membership Requirement
Gent's, Let me weigh in on this. I wasn't aware we had a "growth" problem. I'm 070-650 and back when I joined, it was really slow growth for sure. We actually had a "New Member Jamboree" every time we reached a 100 new member milestone. I, personally don't think that "diluting" our membership by lowering the membership requirements will do anything positive for the club at all. Sun spots have been measured for hundreds of years. They go up, and come down. They're down right now, and will come back. One another note, we have a tremendous knowledge base within our club. When we communicate via our email reflector, can we please remember that it has the potential to be distributed to 2,604 members, (less s/k's and those that have resigned or censured)? Can we put a hold on the silliness and keep our emails on point? I don't think that whining, crying and sniveling has anything to do with the 070 Club. Want a suggestion to help our club grow? To help prospective members learn about us? More operating events! In those operating events, call, "CQ CQ 070 Club Members...any station k" It's always worked in the past. And, that's my opinion.

I agree with Don .... times and conditions change and the club must be able to change with the times .... if the club wants to continue to grow then reducing the number from 50 to 25 contacts as a prerequisite to me seems to the smart thing to do .....

Yes I am all in favor of opening up the PODXS contests to all, members and non-members alike. Can have different point values to make it more interesting.
