Ha! How quickly they forget... Anyway, why not Italy again ?
- since by then the "demo for the ages" of the MW system should have taken place. OTOH - maybe they the Italian insiders, fearing that they could set themselves up for ridicule if this demo by a semi-outsider, does not take place, or if it should fail - would rather exhibit caution instead of doubling up on the National Glory, in the event of success. Go for the glory - -----Original Message----- From: Horace Heffner Krivit posts: "The next ICCF would follow the intercontinental rotation and go to North America for ICCF-17. But surprisingly, no American came to the conference prepared with a proposal and comittment to lead ICCF-17. This is surprising because David Nagel and Michael Melich ran ICCF-14. According to someone who was at the private meeting of the ad-hoc group which decides on each successive conference, neither of them put forward a bid." Say, weren't they beat up pretty badly by some reporter for the way they handled the ICCF-14 conference? If so, not surprising they wouldn't volunteer for that again.
