>From what I have seen, though, it appears the concern is how this
affects the "LOCAL" club category. It probably won't have a
drastic effect on the Unlimited and Medium categories but it can
have a very dramatic effect in the Local category.
CQ WW doesn't have this problem because club competition is club
competition--no classes.
I, for one, would love to see mult totals in ARRL DX approach what
is possible in CQ WW. This is a very positve step in that regard.
But the "Local club" issue must be addressed.

Subject: W5MUG and WN5YTR murder update
Message-ID: <01BB15A1.CEE5B860@shr09-3.prysm.net>
A number of people on the DX and Contest reflectors have asked me to =
keep them up to date on developments in the murders of Floyd and Winnie =
Teetson, W5MUG and WN5YTR. Here is the latest.
I quote from a front page story in today's issue of The (Shreveport) =
Times:
A man who once did yardwork for an elderly retired couple has been =
charged with killing them at their Heflin area home. Kevin Coleman, 18, =
of Heflin was arrested about noon Monday in connection with the slayings =
of Floyd Carl Teetson, 74, and his 69-year-old wife, Winfred. Coleman =
already was in the Webster Jail in Minden when seriff's deputies =
arrested him. He's spent the past few days serving time on an unrelated =
traffic charge, said Chief Deputy Tommy Kemp of the Webster seriff's =
office. Coleman has been charged with two counts of homicide. A grand =
jury will determine the degree of the charges. The Webster seriff's =
office is continuing the investigation, but the case should be turned =
over to the district attorney's office "pretty soon," Kemp said. =
Coleman remained in custody Monday evening after a district judge =
refused to set bond for him. "We believe robbery was the motive in the =
slayings," Kemp said. "We are not sure how much was taken. We don't =
know exactly how much the Teetsons had."
So .... the case progresses. Lets hope they have the right person and =
that justice will prevail. 73, Wes
