The Quarter Century Wireless Association The Quarter Century Wireless Association, Inc. was founded December 5, 1947, as a noncommercial association of radio amateurs organized for the promotion of interest in Amateur Radio communication and experimentation, for the estakrl ishment and advancement of the radio art and of the public welfare. QCWA is an incorporated association without capital stock chartered under the laws of the State of New York, and is a tax exempt 501 (C)3 organization undei the lnternal- Revenue Code of 1986. Its affairs are governed by a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and a Board of Directors, whose voling members are elected every two years by the general membership. In order to qualify for membership in QCWA one must have demonstrable proof of having been first licensed as an Amateur Radio operator at least 25 years prior to application for membership and must be currently licensed. Membership inquiries and general corresoondence should be addressed io the business office at 159 E. 16th Ave., Eugene, OR 97401-4017 USA. Telephone, 541-683-0987. Fax, 541-683- 4181. I Fur opportuniry to volunteer to be a candidate for the QCWA Board is { about to expirel The nominating committee must finish its work in time I to report a slate of candidates byJuly 31,2001. This is the lastJournal issue before that deadline. To serve on the Board you must have either email or fax equipment. There is some personal expense for travel, as Board members must attend a1l Board meetings. Currently there is a minimum of one meeting per year. The next Board meeting will be in Miami, Florida in late October. To volunteer or provide a candidate to the committee send an email or letter to John Huntoon, W1R\[ John's email address is johunt@snet.net and his mailing address is 574 Hills Street; East Hartford, CT 06118-3030. Candidates may be added to the ballot by petition. Petitions must be submitted before December 31, 2001. Petition forms are available from Headquarters. In my last column I mentioned the discussion under way about providing for an additionai membership level to allow members licensed iess than 25 years to be a part of QC\7A. The potential for more nrembers should be greatiy enhanced. Some of our older friends, who may never be eligible under current guidelines, could be active participants in our Association. Guests and flriends of QCVA would have official recognition and status. .We havc not had as many members as we had hoped to join in this discussion. I appreciate the ones who have taken time to respond and would like for more to share their opinion with us. My email and mailing address appears on page 2 of every issue of the Journal. Please share your opinion with me or other members of the Board. Carolyn and I had the opportuniry to visit with seven chapters while we were dodging Missouri weather in February. I want to thank all of the chapters that extended their warm hospitaliry and allowed us to visit. \(/e were in West Palm Beach, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Lakeland, Fort Meyers, Orlando and Ocala, Florida. \We got to see what happens when there is a swamp fire near Interstate 4, even taking part in rwo hours worth of traffic jam. I appreciated the chance to mention some of the things going on in QC!fA to the chapters. I attended the Miami Tiopical Hamboree and the Orlando Hamcation along with some other members of the Board. The booking of cabins for the Convention Cruise is going very well. I have had several tell me they will be on the Westerdam with us. This will be my first time for a cruise. The radio part of the cruise should make an excellent event even nicer. Look for the information about the cruise in this issue. Call White Travel Service (1 800 547-4790) quickly as the reservation deadline is approaching. I have our cabin reserved, do you? 2OO1 QCWA Gonvention Pins are Available The 2001 QCWA Cruise Convention pins have arrived and are available for Five Dollars each.
