Well done.
However, building a contesting club by membership involvement instead of "press
release" sent primarily to the other amateur radio clubs seems strange.
Especially when some of the Houston clubs have been steadily loosing membership
already.
OK, nothing prevents any ham to "belong" to many clubs , but it seems that the
reasons many Houston hams are not interested in mega club contesting are
somewhere else.
Casual reading of mail indicates that some tdxs club contesting activities are
individual contesting activities and not a club activity.
Few years back a fellow ham invited greenhorns like me to actually operate
major contest. We all had a blast. It has not been publicly repeated locally.
Why?
It takes work and not just talk, but it may work better than press release to
attract new blood.

-->FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE From: Texas DX Society To: All Media Outlets and
Interested Parties. Texas DX Society Launches Membership Campaign; Relaxes
Membership Requirements. Houston, TX, August 1, 2016 – The Texas DX Society
announced today that it is launching a major effort to attract new members;
especially new hams who are interested in working DX and participating in
contests. TDXS members recently approved significant changes to its club
constitution to eliminate any restrictive barriers to membership. According to
Club president Bob Hardie, W5UQ, “TDXS has a wealth of experience we can share
with the ham radio community at large. We want to encourage new hams to
discover the tools and techniques that are a part of the greatest hobby in the
world.” “Many of our members, are multiple DX Century Club (DXCC) award
holders and almost 50 are on the DXCC Honor Roll”, said Allen Brier, N5XZ, and
TDXS Communication Chairman. “Their experience is a valuable resource of
communications skill, said Brier further. . Most TDXS members are avid
contesters. “Participating in contests is one of the fastest ways to work new
countries and earn the coveted DXCC award. It is also one of the best ways to
improve operating skills, according to Contest Chairman, Glenn Anderson,
WB5TUF. “The pace and competition of a contest is one of the best ways to
prepare for a real emergency”, Anderson stated. Even if you have little
contest experience, we are interested in forming contest teams with new hams
and experienced members. It’s the best way to learn how it is done. The Texas
DX Society is a nonprofit organization founded in 1970. We invite Houston area
amateurs to get to know us. Visit our web site at www.tdxs.net or by attending
our monthly meetings on the second Thursday of each month at the Tracy Gee
Center, 3599 Westcenter Dr., Houston, TX 77042. For more information,
contact Allen Brier, N5XZ, Communications Manager at [email protected].
