On March 19, I’m moderating a session on amateur radio clubs at the ARRL Great Lakes Division Convention. To spur discussion, I’ve come up with the following “ABCs of Strong Clubs.”
- A: activities
- B: (think) big, breakfasts
- C: classes, contests
- D: delegate
- E: elmering
- F: fun, friendly, field day
- G: gear/gadgets
- H: helpful
- I: (get people) involved, introductions
- J: just do it!
- K: kids
- L: leadership
- M: meetings, mailing list
- N: newsletter, nets
- O: operating,”open shacks”
- P: publicity, projects, public service
- Q: QSLs
- R: repeater, recruiting (members, officers), recognition
- S: socializing, (club) station
- T: t-shirts (badges, caps, etc.)
- U: united, upgrading
- V: vittles, volunteering
- W: website
- X: examinations
- Y: (make it) yours
- Z: zero beat, zoning
I had a lot of help with this and would like to thank all those who made a contribution, including Dale Williams WA8EFK, Charlie Chapman KB8SFR, and Bill Cahill AD8BC. If you have something to add, please e-mail me.
