<DIV dir=ltr>I had an interesting conversation with past NCDXA president K3LP
last night.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First, Dave is asking if NCDXA is willing to be a major player in
supporting the January/February 2016 DXpedition to South Georgia and South
Sandwich Islands - the #3 and #7 on the most wanted list</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dave's offer is that if NCDXA is willing to donate $1,001 to that
operation, that he'll donate $300 of that personally. I'll join him in
offering $100 of my own funds to that contribution. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If the club membership agrees, NCDXA will contribute $601 from our
treasury to support a major, high profile operation where we'll be billed as a
major contributor. Given the high (astronomical!) cost of operations like
this, it makes sense to me for the club to consider contributing. Of course,
if individual members want to add their contribution to the pot, it'll be used
to defray the club contribution. <BR clear=all>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have a look at <A

href="http://www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8/"
target=_blank>http://www.intrepid-dx.com/vp8/ </A>for info on the
operation.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm inclined to support this operation as it's what NCDXA is for.
Comments, support, or objections? Let's discuss on the reflector.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Second: as NCDXA is currently lacking leadership, Dave is offering to
accept the role of President. We're currently rudderless, with no meetings
scheduled and nothing but just me as the acting Treasurer.. let's consider
this offer as well (but not exclusive of the issue of a NCDXA contribution to
VP8).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To answer the obvious question, the current NCDXA treasury is just over
$3700.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>73,</DIV>
