<VV> communique improvement idea number 6

[aeroned at aol.com]

Mark,

That would be be great for members, such as yourself, that HAVE all the back issues. I would venture to guess that there are less than 10% of our members that would fit into that subset, it might be as low as 1%. I would also guess that making such an index would be no easy task. So it would be lots of work and benefit very few members, not really the best use of Mike and Harry's time (which is CORSA's money).

However, since you have all the back issues, you could make the index for CORSA and it wouldn't casot us (CORSA) a dime.... :^)

Hi Harry and Mike,

How about an index of all the tech and historic articles in the CC and CQ,
dating back to CORSA's start? I certainly could use such an index.

My 2 cents.  The 50% you mentioned are probably not going to go away (at
least voluntarily) and if you are trying to attract new people then
addressing the other 50% might be the way to go or at least worth a try.

Hi--

If the information is already in one of the Tech Guides, then why 
reprint it?

Personally, I think we can do more online to promote the Tech Guides, 
such as put some sample articles online for folks to get an idea of what

the Tech Guides are all about. That way, you can publicize them for 
everyone, not just new members.

Bob, there are no 'rules' per se, but about 50% of our members have been

members for a long time. Reprinting articles that they have already seen

reduces content for those people.
