This is a reminder that I have to update my ADIF county conversion program: http://software.ad1c.us/ I'll try to get it updated next week (after CQP is over). 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 5 13:18:37 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Ken Kopp) Date: Thu Oct 5 13:23:10 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] RE: K0PP and eQSL -> 10-10 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> According to the 10-10 website the current membership is 73,000+ members. The membership fee is $15 per year ... $18 per year for "non-US ZIP code" members. Based on the above, the minimum income for the organization, based on US membership fees alone, is in excess of $1.1 million dollars per year. They say the organization is run by volunteers, so they have no employee expenses. Their certificates, bought in bulk, cost pennies each. It's not making money for someone? Yeah, right. Is there a financial accounting available? Jeff: I haven't a clue about the League's financial situation. I simply view eQSL as a "wanna be". 73!
