Garry,
In the good old days when I was learning the art of ham radio from Don Miller's
DX and contest operations and my Dad UB5WF, I've got an idea of the ham spirit
that makes all of us equal under the Sun.
This is the corner stone of our hobby - the equality, no matter how much one's
paid
The point that Garry is making, he did it very well, is that EU as a group
should contribute more than what they are presently doing. And he is right.

It appears to be the case that NA finances the big trips and EU gets the
Q's. That needs to be ironed out.
Garry
while EU hams are very demanding, they don't do much to contribute to the
cost
NA puts up
the largest percentage of the funds but doesn't get that percentage in
Q's. I forget which group it was posted in.

The irony in all this is compare the bird protection on Navassa to wind
farms stateside which are allowed to kill thousands of birds including your
golden eagle.
You just can't make this stupidity up.
