HEY FOLKS... QRX-QRX-QRX !!!
Has this Mailbox Movement matter been THOROUGHLY thought-through ???
NEWS FLASH #1: Post Offices (and P.O. Boxes very rarely Physically QSY).
NEWS FLASH #2: Human beings, on the other hand, have been known to QSY (Move) more than once during their lives.
So this begs the question...
If the GVARC Mailing Address changes now, "WHAT IF" Woody decides to move to in a year or two?? ?Does history repeat itself?
In addition to GVARC Members, how many entities and other people would need to be notified (AGAIN) of an address change?
Umh, like maybe the FCC ("Fox Charlie Charlie") for the W6GGF Ham License?? Any licenses required for the repeaters?? What about the Gilroy Garlic Festival (to receive a $$$ check should the events resume full-bore in the future)?
And the list of people to notify may go on further.? ?And should another move take place at some point in the future (near or distant), well, umh, ahhh, errr, I hope I have made my point for SERIOUS consideration.
Might it make more sense to KEEP THE GVARC GILROY P.O. BOX, and have a "Backup" plan for insuring the Annual P.O. Box fee renewal???
NEWS FLASH #3: FYI, P.O. Box fees can be paid "online" (that's how I do mine for a Morgan Hill P.O. Box).
That all being said, I pulled the stamp of the envelope with my dues addressed? to the Gilroy P.O. Box, put it on a larger envelope (and secured the stamp with clear tape) addressed to the 375 Heidi Drive/MH address, and put it out in the mailbox for pickup today.
Whatever the final disposition in this matter, REMEMBER... NOT everyone subscribes to this list/reflector.? IMHO, even "Past Members" would need to be notified of the change (in the event they may want to re-enlist in the GVARC).
