Randy,
<BR>You can just District-Hop into D-1, but by the same token, I'll bet
you wouldn't be doing Waterboro, Maine either.

Considered the pot stirred.
I live in DC, or the NE corner of D2. Contests in TN would be too
far for me to get to. I do not know about the rest of you, but driving
more than 8 hours for an 'in district' contest is not doable. It
means getting back around 11PM sunday night. Some of us have to get
up at 0530 the next morning for work. I have no idea how the D8 guys
travel all that distance. Randy

That's exactly the corrective action that will be accomplished in
District #2, but I suspect will probably be negative for District
#5, but I'm not planning to move there any time soon (VVBG).

You might want to contact L. Von Nostrand. If I remember correctly he chaired
the last committee on the same subject. MattK In a message dated 1/1/2006
