Patrick,

Thank you kindly for the history lesson. My first DXer contact here was Rich 
Eddie, and he joined EVERY group! I liked the legal sized IRCA issues he 
had, and IRCA has many more awards too.

So I joned BOTH IRCA and NRC at the same time in late 1979. I did get a lot 
of tips from both bullitens, and I like the DX News for one reason - more 
members mused sharing what was going on DX wise. I enjoyed that personal 
interest.

So a convention came up only five hours away. Rich said if I did all the 
driving of his car he would purchase the gas. Such a deal I could not 
refuse! I really enjoyed the convention, and meeting all those DXers whose 
musings I had read, and their logs I read.

While I was a member of NRC I had no problem with the board, and my musings 
never got me clubbed by the powers that be! I did hear that Mike Knitter 
(Knit-wit) was being forced to surrender the publishing duties of DX News. 
Not clear about all that. Rich Eddie memorized all that information, and 
could bring me up to date in 15 minutes! Gee, that guy sure knew radio!!!!!!

This time I have joined IRCA only for a three year sub. For once I heeded 
Eric's advice, and did not join a club run like a dictatorship. I have 
enjoyed IRCA thus far, and must try to muse more. Also glad to see that the 
Short Wave clubs have started a musing column too!!!!

So we may be having local get-to-gethers for BCB and other DX venues.

Again, thanks for the history.

Best and 73 73s,

Terry in Saint Louis
