Considered the pot stirred.  I live in DC, or the NE corner of D2.  Contests
in TN would be too far for me to get to.  I do not know about the rest of
you, but driving more than 8 hours for an 'in district' contest is not
doable.  It means getting back around 11PM sunday night.  Some of us have to
get up at 0530 the next morning for work.
 
I have no idea how the D8 guys travel all that distance.

That's exactly the corrective action that will be accomplished in District
#2, but I suspect will  probably be negative for District #5, but I'm not
planning to move there any time soon (VVBG).

 Any consideration given for the number of active pattern pilots in these

correctly he chaired the last committee on the same subject. MattK In a
