1. REF A HAS PRODUCED VERY LITTLE RESPONSE FROM THE PACIFIC AREA
MEMBERSHIP IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME
THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF TONGUES WAGGING AND ATTITUDES BEING
DISPLAYED IN THE BACKGROUND. THAT'S NOT GOING TO PRODUCE ANY
USEFUL RESULTS FOLKS. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A 'BRAIN STORMING'
SESSION, HAM RADIO STYLE. THE MORE INPUTS THAT WE GET, THE MORE
GOOD IDEAS THAT WE WILL BE EXPOSED TO AND THE MORE LIKELY WE WILL
GET TO A SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEM. SO DROP THE PHONE, UNKEY THE MIC,
GRAB A PIECE OF PAPER AND DRAFT UP AND SEND IN YOUR IDEAS/THOUGHTS
NOW. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU(EXCL) IF YOU WOULD RATHER WHINE AND
COMPLAIN, WE ARE ACCEPTING RESIGNATIONS NOW ALSO.
2. MARS DAY OUT (MDO). REGION TEN IS HAVING THEIR MDO THIS WEEKEND,
21 NOVEMBER. YOU WILL FIND THE DETAILS ON THE REGION TEN WEB SITE.
LISTEN FOR THEM AND GIVE THEM A CHECK-IN FROM YOUR SECTION. IT COULD
BE A FUN DAY OF RADIOING FOR YOU.
3. WE ARE TRYING TO GET ALL THE FILES ON THE PACIFIC AREA WEB SITE
UP TO DATE, SO IF YOU RUN INTO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT UP TO DATE,
PLEASE LET US KNOW. IF THERE ARE NON-WORKING LINKS ON THERE, THAT
WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW ALSO.
4. I CAN'T REALLY TELL WHAT THE BAND CONDITIONS ARE DOING, BUT I
HAVE FOUND MYSELF PROVIDING RELAYS FOR SOME OUT OF STATE TO ME,
STATE NETS. IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, YOU MIGHT LISTEN IN ON SOME OF
THE ADJACENT STATES' NETS AND HELP THEM OUT WHEN THEY CAN'T HEAR
EACH OTHER. IT SEEMS THAT THE CONDITIONS, RIGHT NOW, ARE CHANGING
MINUTE BY MINUTE.
5. ONE MORE THOUGHT ABOUT VOLUNTEERS. I HAVE FREQUENTLY HEARD PEOPLE
SAY (QUOTE)BUT I AM A VOLUNTEER(UNQUOTE)OR (QUOTE)I DO THIS FOR A
HOBBY(UNQUOTE). A SUPERVISOR THAT I HAD IN A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION
THAT I USED TO BELONG TO HAD THIS TO SAY ABOUT THAT. (QUOTE)YOU ARE
A VOLUNTEER, TO THE POINT THAT I ACCEPT YOUR OFFER, THEN YOU BECOME
MY UN-PAID EMPLOYEE AND YOU WILL TAKE DIRECTION.(UNQUOTE) THINK
ABOUT THIS: WE HAVE AN ALL VOLUNTEER MILITARY PROTECTING OUR COUNTRY
AND OUR FREEDOM! WAR IS HELL. DO YOU WANT THEM TO QUIT WHEN THE
GOING GETS ROUGH?
6. PACIFIC AREA, PROUDLY SERVING THE BEST WITH THE BEST.
