Regarding WNYDXA Expansion

I would submit it is time to form a committee (ZR can head it as he is so good at committees) to find out why WNYDXA members aren't working DX...one simple thing...After all we are the DX club in the area.
 
Secondly, it may be time to go back with the policy of 100 countries for membership criteria. What is the point of growing the club with members that are not even actively working DX. We don't need more members....we need an active membership that DX-es.
 
On like buttons and skype. Just because there is technology for this or that doesn't mean we need to use it. Hell, we can't even get our members to use their radios If you want to provide input to your club...show up at the damn meetings...it is that simple...Skype...you have to be kidding me...This is WNYDXA ...for WNY.....I've got it...why don't we have a skype award...this way we can sell our rigs...(which for most members are collecting dust anyways) and buy bigger and powerful computers so we can have a virtual club with no meetings at all and virtual pileups...
 
Change of meeting place...(ZR give it a rest...Hell you aren't even here for a bit of the meetings anyways)...we have been through this all before. Friday was chosen as other clubs meet the other nights of the week in our area....Dinner is and was a tradition with most DX clubs...I do not wish to eat cold pizza or donuts  and lousy coffee at some school or church basement. This club as always has a social component but it always was a social component of DX-ers. If you guys want all this other fluff...go join another radio club that has these activities. This is a DX club...and everyone knew that when they joined. That is the whole point, DX ,to work DX, to talk dx...its really  very simple....Other clubs do other things...If you want those other things go to their meetings.
