From what I hear Doc, this years contest is probably their last. I used to get contest flier emails from Aimee for it and asked her to keep me on her list, hoping, like you, to be able to make it there some day. I met a lot of those guys at the first SIG contest I attended in the late 80's. They are suffering from the same factors that a lot of other clubs are dealing with, ageing and declining membership.
Type at you later,
