JP brings up an excellent idea. I'd like to remind everybody that HamCom in
Dallas was an independent organization made up of members from various clubs
that formed a corporation to run the hamfest. Perhaps this is something to look
at in Houston. Form a corporation as a non-profit group and have members of the
various clubs on the board. It needs to be a metro-wide area group.
Houston is always been lacking compared to the DFW area in amateur activities,
which I don't understand why. Even my good friend and silent key Andy
McAllister once said " Houston hams suck." The old Houston Amateur Radio Club
used to have bi-monthly auctions at its clubhouse on OST. Sadly that club went
under and the property was sold. Which was a damn shame because it was a very
nice clubhouse with a fully operational HF station. And unfortunately that just
proved Andy's statement. I think it's time to change that.

Dear friends,
It is heartening to see the club get off to an earlier that usual start
in planning for the hamfest, and of course the expected calls for ideas and
actual real volunteers. Finding reliable volunteers is always a problem because
most of us already have full plates, with work, family, etc.
So here's an old idea, submitted for yet another round of retorts that
resurface every time someone makes a suggestion --"But we've already tried
that."
I suggest we offer to partner with the other clubs in the metro to help make
it a true "Greater Houston Hamfest." It does work when applied to Field Day.
Why not try again to apply it to the hamfest? Net income from the event might
be divided according to a formula that reflects two factors -- each club's
membership headcount, and each club's actual participation (expressed in
numbers of participating volunteers). Such a system would give all clubs a
stake in the success of the event.
I'm now feeling verklempt, so this is your chance to discuss among
yourselves. Or not.
