In an earlier post, I had made mention that I didn't see that a merger would happen except out of necessity,
which I still believe, even though I believe it could conceivably work sooner than that.
The various posts on the subject reinforce something else I had said - that some of the same issues that
led to the divide are still in play today. They also reinforce that among those who were there at the time, on
both sides of the fence ( and due to the comparative ages of the active participants at the time, there are more
of these folks left in IRCA than in NRC ) are not currently in favor of a merger.
My personal view is that my biggest concern about it is that old animosities might be rekindled, in which case
it is better left undone.

This got bounced from the IRCA list
yesterday due to length, though it
appeared on the NRC list. So I removed the rest of the
thread.
So if there is significant overlap, according to Russ'
estimation, it can't
be that either club is TOO intolerable to the other.
When it comes to mergers that I know about - churches - I've
learned a few
things:
<snip>
I suspect that if
clubs stop functioning there will be at least a loose
e-network of DXers,
but how that is organized remains to be seen: a single
individual who
comes forward to maintain an e-list? or web site? A
cluster of people
willing to do the same? People finding a
medium wave message board
created in Yahoo Groups or the like? DXer friends
maintaining their own
contact lists? Or we become the "medium wave" tab on
the web site of a
more general all-band group (that may also be in
decline). If print
operations are discarded, then the financial dimensions of
our operations
are likely to be significantly reduced. You usually
need a board of
directors when money is involved, but do we need a board
when there's a lot
less money?*
