Hiya!

I had no idea that National Radio Club had degenerated. When I rejoined IRCA 
Eric told me that NRC was a dictatorship! I was stunned.

I remember DX News being published by the Louisville group (Dicsk Truax & 
company), and then Mike Nittler, who we affectioantely called Mike Knit-wit. 
Great issues from 1978 through 1984 that I was overactively involved.

I picked up a box of old DX News and DX Monitors, and have read many musings 
by Rich Eddie, Walt Breville, Mark Strickert, and many other familiar names. 
I was quite surprized to see how many issue I had contributed to!

Eric has a muse about taking over the Bandscan column. It ends with an 
admonition for Roger Gianini and I NOT make frun of Mister Microphone oh er 
ah Eric .

Reading many of these old bullitens is a time portal. I read musings by Norm 
McGuire, Richard Pistek, Rich Eddie, and many others who have passed on. 
They still live through their printed words!

A HUGE thank you to EARL HIGGINGS for allowing me to travel back in time 27 
years to when I joined IRCA and NRC!!!!

It is sad that such a great club could be taken over by a person, who rules 
like a dictator. I have fond memories of NRC, and looking forward to every 
issue of DX News. The same was true for IRCA. There was some playful kidding 
in the musings, but I never read anything of the nature Eric reports.

I have the 50th anniversary NRC book, and I still get it out every year to 
peruse the pages. It is still a fine book to me. Eric needs to consider that 
some people are NOT familiar with the unbelievable change that NRC has gone 
through since the early 1980s!

Best of DX and 73 73s
